Which Earth system spheres are involved in this particular scientific investigation on hydraulic fracturing? Choose one or more: a. biosphere b. atmosphere c. hydrosphere d. cryosphere e. geosphere

Option (E)

Explanation:

The hydraulic fracturing is a technique of stimulating a well where a high pressure is applied by the liquid to break the rocks. This type of drilling method is usually done by the injection of an extremely high pressurized liquid, in order to obtain crude oil, petroleum and natural gas from the subsurface region of earth.

This work is carried out in the hard rocks, which forms the main part of the geosphere. Geosphere usually refers to all the regions that comprises the earth, lithosphere, atmsphere, as well as the hydrosphere.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).
