    The correct answers are:

    - It can pollute the air;

    - It can pollute wells;

    - It can increase climate change;

    - It can cause injection-induced earthquakes;

    The fracking is a process in which liquid in high pressure is injected into boreholes or subterranean rocks in order to force open the existing fissures and extract oil and gas.

    This process causes a lot of stress in the crust, and there's a possibility that it can cause earthquakes, though not very strong ones, but still enough to make damage. Also, it manages to make cracks, which can lead to a pollution of the wells if there's groundwater nearby. Since this process increases the extraction of oil and gas it results in an ever-growing pollution of the air, thus increasing the climate changes.
