Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a method used to extract natural gas from shale rock formations deep underground. It involves injecting large volumes of water, sand, and chemicals at high pressure to fracture the rock and release the gas. The process generates large volumes of liquid waste, which is often disposed of by injecting it into deep disposal wells.
