Fracking

1. The purpose of fracking is when water and chemicals are pushed into the ground at high pressures to break rock and release the gases in there.

2. Fracking is done by putting chemicals into water and then at a high pressure shoot them into the ground . then the water and chemicals hit a gas pocket and they put a pipe in the hole and suck up the gas.

3. People are concerned about fracking because the chemicals can be put into wells and can contaminate wells and other things around the site.
