What is fracking?
A way of getting natural gas out of the ground
A chemical process for fuel production
A type of drilling equipment
A method of renewable energy production
What type of rock contains gas that requires fracking to extract?
Sandstone
Shale
Limestone
Granite
How does the drilling process work in fracking?
The drill creates multiple vertical holes

What are the small breaks in the rock called that release gas?
Cracks
Gaps
Holes
Fissures
Why haven't most Canadian regions allowed fracking?
