Explain the illustration(s) in words.  Separate statements for each sketch.-The drilling rig is illustrated above the well that is used to obtain the fossil fuels -the well is the tube underground that uses pressurized fluid to break down the rock to make it permeable (light grey )-contaminated water is stored in pits or tanks as projected in the dark grey tank in my sketch (waste water tank)-the fossil fuel collected and transported to off site processing facilities illustrated on the surface of the land in containers-the truck coming in contains water used to pressurize the rock
Critique, clarify, restate the sketch(es) and associated explanation(s).  -the fluid is blasted down the well deep in earth causing the rock to have fractures and make the rock more permeable.-the pipe is made of steel and held in place by cement in order to prevent soil and water to be contaminated- The fractures at the end of the well in the brown layer are of the rock cracking, allowing oil or gas to flow to the well. -the tank contains the contaminate water caused by the leaks -the gas rich layer lies deep in the earth about a mile down and about 3 to 6 million gallons of water is used per well-the pit is another form of storing contaminated water
