Which of the following best describes an environmental problem that is often linked to the process of fracking?
Fracking operations require large tracts of land, which degrades habitat and harms wildlife. Fracking can increase stream flow and water volume, disrupting fish migration pathways. Wastewater from fracking operations is injected into porous rock formations, which can induce seismic activity. Excessive nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, run off the land near fracking sites, which can lead to large algal blooms in nearby waterways.
