sand and chemicals (what chemicals) 3. Both the water and the sand/chemical solution is injected at high pressure down and across into horizontally drilled wells as far as 10,000 feet below the earth’s surface. 4. The pressurized mixture causes the rock layer (Marcellus Shale), to crack. 5. These fissures are held open by the sand particles so that natural gas from the shale can flow up the well. 6. Recovered water is stored in open pits, then taken to a treatment plant. The

Understanding more about how the brain works may well lead to new methods for treating such problems. Dancing Worms and Deep Depression
