" hydrofracking” (often just “fracking”).” In a nutshell, hydrofracking (or “induced hydraulic fracturing”) is the process of injecting highly pressurized, chemical-laced fluid into a rock layer far below the surface of the earth in order to make cracks in it, and then to use the cracks to get to fossil fuels that you couldn’t get to before because they were so deeply buried.
