I believe the correct answer would be A. The extraction of oil shale is detrimental to the environment mainly because the process of extraction requires large amounts of land. Lands are being excavated in order to locate areas which contains the oil. This is not good since it affects ecosystems and destroy habitats.

Answer from: alisucaalisuca

Water is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The whole process of extraction of oil from oil shales involves water in so many ways, from extraction to processing to selling the oil. Just in the United States, it is necessary to use from 4 to 8 billion of cubic meters everyday for oil refining, almost two times compared with what American household user in the same period of time. Due to this, b is the correct answer.

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
