1. How can we create extraction techniques for fossil fuels that do not negatively affect an ecosystem due to human activity?
Investigation 2:
An ecosystem’s (the living & non-living) biodiversity can be negatively affected by hydraulic fracking and oil drilling. These practices can be disruptive to the sustainability of humans, plants and animals.
