1. Step 1. Hydraulic fracturing — uses — Hydraulics (Pascal’s law). Fluid pressure.
2. Step 2. Hydraulics (Pascal’s law) — is used in — Hydraulic cylinder. The liquid transmits pressure to the piston.
3. Step 3. Hydraulic cylinder — is used in — Tunnelling shield. The shield was pushed forward by jacks.
