Answer:
If the oil spilled in the gulf would have been processed oil, it would be worse than a normal oil spill as these oils have a higher shelf life.
Explanation:
Oil spills happen when a large quantity of oil gets mixed with large water bodies like <em>sea and oceans</em>. The oil being denser than water floats on the surface and does not mix with the water. It forms a coating on top of the water.
The difference between processed oil and normal oil is that they are heated at very <u>high temperatures</u> and this results in oxidation which creates <em>free radicals</em>, which are not good for the body and its cells. Also they have a very long shelf life due to which they will remain on water for a long time.
When oil spills happen, the <em>wind</em> cause the spill to spread over the water surface, thereby engulfing a large amount of area. The major disadvantages of the spill are:-
- The oil gets stuck in the feathers of the birds who come by to dip themselves,
- Animals like whale, dolphins have blow holes for releasing water. the oil covers these holes and makes it difficult for them to breathe.
- The fur of animals like <u>seal and otter </u>gets mixed with the oil and can prove harmful to them as it gets them exposed to cold.
- The overall BOD of the water body decreases, and organisms which use sun rays coming inside the ocean suffer as these get blocked.
- Since processed oil has longer shelf life, a large quantity of animals will suffer and die.
I think the answer is B sorry if I’m wrong
Answer:
c.Ionic bond is formed between two metals or two non metals.
Answer:
The amount of CO2 found in the atmosphere varies over the course of a year. Much of this variation happens because of the role of plants in the carbon cycle. Respiration happens all the time, but dominates during the colder months of the year, resulting in higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere during those months.

Answer:
Explanation:
quadrant to determine the population of plants. The quadrants is square in shape and its been marked with boundaries. It is place on a particular location to determine the number of plants.
Population of owl in 2000 =200 owl
Population of owl in 2004 =126 owl
Change in population = 200 -126=74 plants
There is a decrease by 74 in the number of plant.
