History

Answer:

It was the largest accidental marine spill in history.

Explanation:

Deepwater Horizon was a semi-submersible oil platform with rapid positioning of ultra-deep waters built in 2001 and located in the Gulf of Mexico, shared by the United States, Cuba and Mexico. It sank on April 22, 2010 as a result of an explosion that had taken place two days before, causing the most important oil spill in history, estimated at 779,000 tons of crude oil.

The first damages affected the marshes of the mouth and the delta of the Mississippi, extending to the area of ​​Louisiana and other sectors of Florida and Cuba.

The purpose of the Deepwater Horizon tower was to drill oil wells in the subsoil, moving from one place to another as required. Once the drilling was finished, the extraction was done by another team. Deepwater Horizon was owned by Transocean and had been leased to BP until September 2013. In September 2009 it drilled the deepest oil well in history.

As a result of the accident, 11 staff members lost their lives.

Along with the sinking of the Petrobras 36 platform in 2001 with the same dead, it has been the worst tragedy on an oil rig since the explosion of the English platform Piper Alpha in 1988, which caused 167 deaths.

Which of these economic systems is based on a “command” economy, as opposed to a “free market” economy?
Vikentia [17]

The correct answer is:

Marxism.

Explanation:

A command economy, also known as planned economy is an economic system where the government controls the production, the government decides how, when and how much to produce, as well as the price of the products, the supply and demand laws doesn't interfere in this type of economy.

A command economy can be considered a base in Marxism, because in the "Common Manifesto" written by Karl Max, he states that the state should control the production, communication, transportation and that there should only be one national bank, owned by the state; and that is the basic principle of a command economy.

For Karl Marx, conflicts in a society are mostly caused by capitalist societies with different class status, where the proletariat class works a big amount of hours to produce products and services, and the upper class doesn't care about them.

<em>The Marxism theory states that this class conflict leads to a proletarian revolution, which then results in socialism, who will later transform in communism. </em>

What was an important result of Prohibition during the 1920s?
Dmitriy789 [7]

The correct answer is A) Respect for the law decreased.

The outlawing of alcohol was supposed to result in America having less crime and violence. However, the actual effect was almost the direct opposite. For example, during this era millions of Americans continued to drink alcohol illegal. Many citizens lost respect for the law and continued to drink alcohol illegally thanks to the development of speakeasies (underground bars that served alcohol).
