What process uses pressurized liquid to create cracks in rock formations to release oil and natural gas?
A) Quarrying
B) Fracking
C) Conversion
D) Distillation
Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. A quarry is an open excavation from which stones are extracted.
B) Correct. In the 1990s, a technique came into use called hydraulic fracturing (or fracking). Fracking) is a process that uses pressurized liquid to create cracks in rock formations to release oil and natural gas. It is implemented in wells dug deep under the surface and then horizontally; it releases oil and gas that would be inaccessible by simple drilling.
C) Incorrect. Conversion is a process that changes the size and/or structure of the petroleum components by breaking them down, combining them, or rearranging them.
D) Incorrect. Distillation is the process (also called fractionation) of refining a compound such as petroleum into separate components. This process uses the different boiling points of liquids to separate components (called fractions).

Error correction using three FDMA orthogonal signals. The following worksheet specifies three 10- sample FDMA orthogonal data signals: sA1 in B5:B14, sB1 in C5:C14 and sC1 in D5:D14. Random transmitted bit Dt is computed in C1. The transmitted signal sATi (in E5:E14) = sAi if Dt=1 and =-sAi if Dt=0. The transmitted signal sBTi (in F5:F14) = sBi if Dt=1 and =-sBi if Dt=0. The transmitted signal sCTi (in G5:G14) = sCi if Dt=1 and =-sBi if Dt=0. The Gaussian noise sequence Ni SD ?N is specified in I1. The detected signal Xi is computed as the sum of the three signals and noise in I5:I14. The matched processor component sAiXi is computed in J5:J14 and VA is computed in J16. The matched processor component sBiXi is computed in K5:K14 and VB is computed in K16. The matched processor
component sCiXi is computed in L5:L14 and VC is computed in L16. The detected bit DAr is computed in B2 from VA, DBr is computed in D2 from VB, and DCr is computed in F2 from VC. The received data bit Dr in E2 is computed using error correction applied to DAr , DBr and DCr
The probability of error is estimated by computing the ratio of errors to transmitted data in O5 as the noise ?N varies from 0 in steps of ?? = (Es/2)1/2 using Es computed in I2. The total number of data bits to be transmitted nT is specified in O2. The number of transmissions accomplished in shown in O3 – with 1 bit per three-signal transmission - and the number of errors in O4. Three VBA Macros are present:
