Atmosphere of Jupiter Atmosphere of Jupiter The atmosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System. It is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium in roughly solar proportions; other chemical compounds are present only in small amounts and include methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and water. Although water is thought to reside deep in the atmosphere, its directly measured concentration is very low. The nitrogen, sulfur, and noble gas abundances in Jupiter's atmosphere exceed solar values by a factor of about three. The atmosphere of Jupiter lacks a clear lower boundary and gradually transitions into the liquid interior of the
Shale gas in the United States infrastructure emerged as environmental concerns for the rush. In Pennsylvania, controversy has surrounded the practice of releasing wastewater from "fracking" into rivers which serve as consumption reserves. Methane release contributing to global warming is a concern. The word “fracking”, slang for hydraulic fracturing, has entered the English language. The Great Shale Gas Rush refers to the growth in unconventional shale gas extraction in the early 21st-century. Pennsylvania was featured in the Academy Award-nominated, environmental documentary Gasland by Josh Fox in 2010.
