How are human population growth and fracking related?
A. The population has decreased and so has demand for energy resources.
B. The population has increased as demand for energy resources has decreased.
C. The population has increased and so has demand for energy resources.
D. The population has decreased as demand for energy resources has increased.
C. The population has increased and so has demand for energy resources.
As the human population continues to grow, the demand for energy resources also increases. This in turn can lead to an increase in the use of fracking, a method of extracting natural gas and oil from underground. Fracking has been used to meet the growing energy demands of a larger population.
