Frac-Sand Mining: Killing Natural Habitats and Polluting the Environment I remember walking on the rocky shore of an endless, blue lake and feeling the fresh breeze shield me from the brutal, summer heat. My Uncle and I used to take out a Piragus canoe and paddle across the lake’s vastness as I peered down into the glassy water and clearly saw the castle rock formations. The fish quickly swam in and out of their hiding places like swarms of people making their way to work on a busy New York morning

One of my most extraordinarily adored spots to go in my available time is the shoreline. A shoreline is a national geographic, nature made landform that is close to a waterway. It is normally involved free particles, which regularly comprise of sand, shake, shingle, stones and, or cobblestone. The particles living on a shoreline are frequently regular to the shoreline, for example, mollusk shells, saltwater pal, or green growth development. Shorelines regularly show up around domains along the drift

A methodology has been developed for making low compressive strength cores that will be used to experimentally examine the Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS) process occurring in unconsolidated oil reservoirs. The main objective is to experimentally model wormhole (high permeability channel) development during CHOPS and investigate the effect of various flow parameters such as core permeability and porosity, compressive strength, oil/water viscosity contrast, confining pressure and injection

Canada has always been a leader in the oil sands industry. Over the past few years there has been controversy in Canada over oil production. Some say we should continue to expand the production of oil and others say we should try to reduce our production. The first article “Why Canada needs to develop the oil sands” by Konrad Yakabuski argues that Canada should continue to expand the oil sands. Contradictory to the first article, the second article “Stop oilsands expansion, Canadian and U.S. researchers

utilization of wetlands for landfills and also the development of sand dunes for property and recreational functions have all had negative effects on Australia's coastal areas. The removal of vegetation has seen a big reduction in variety and conjointly noncontinuous the natural processes which kind involved coastal ecosystems. Beaches, as an example, are shaped by an ongoing cycle of erosion and deposition of sand. Storms erode beaches of their sand, that is then re-deposited by massive waves. Over time,

Canadian “Alberta Oil Sands” are the third largest oil reserves in the world and has an investment value of over $27 billion. Over 100,000 employment opportunities are generated as a result of the oil sands and it leads to a production rate of approximately 2.3 million barrels per day. One of the largest controversies in Canadian politics is whether to oust the oil sands production or expand it. However between the two articles, “Why Canada needs to develop the oil sands” by Konrad Yakabuski and

province that is rich and abundant in natural resources such as oil sands. What are oil sands? Oil reserves play a very important role in the Canadian economy. Oil sands from areas such as Alberta have been described as “Canadians greatest buried energy treasure” by popular magazines such as Time magazine. Oil sands are a naturally existing mixture of sand, clay and other materials such as water and bitumen. Some materials in oil sands including bitumen are highly viscous that they need to be treated

banks. The production of the oil sands is a human rights issue as it effects local drinking water , an environmental issue with the destruction of local wildlife and an first nations people issue. By and large the general public in Canada and the United States do not know what is going on in northern Alberta. The public still does not fully comprehend how First Nations communities are the most negatively affected. First Nation Canadians live very close to the oil sands , mostly along the Athabasca River
