Why is the Exxon Valdez significant? It was the oil rig responsible for the spill in the Gulf of Mexico that continues to plague

many U.S. businesses. It was an oil tanker that caused one of the worst oil spills in U.S. history, leading to the building of double-hulled ships. It was the oil rig that built many drills around the waters of Alaska which were specially designed to prevent dangerous spills. It was the oil tanker that spilled great amounts of oil into Prince William Sound and led to the end of all oil drilling there.

Answer:

Exxon Valdez is significant because it was an oil tanker that caused one of the worst oil spills in U.S. history, leading to the building of double-hulled ships.

Explanation:

The Exxon Valdez disaster was an oil spill caused by the oil tanker Exxon Valdez after running aground on March 24, 1989, with a cargo of 11 million gallons of crude oil in Prince William Sound, Alaska, pouring 37,000 tons of hydrocarbon.

Alaska experienced the worst ecological tragedy in its history, by running the oil tanker and pouring millions of liters of oil that expanded over 1,000 miles of coastline. To clean the oil slick, vacuum cleaners, pressurized hot water hoses were used, and the oil that still contained the Exxon Valdez was transferred to another oil tanker.

The spill led to the approval of new environmental legislation in the United States (Oil Pollution Act of 1990).

Which event hampered the navy's growth during the 1800's?
lyudmila [28]
The correct answer is either manifest destiny or the civil war

Because of the civil war and the expenses of maintaining a navy that could blockade Confederate ports, the Navy was constantly losing power and ships and after the war ended most of the 700 initial ships were completely out of service. As manifest destiny and reconstruction began spreading, the government did not focus on rebuilding its navy and a large part of the navy that remained had to focus on things like helping merchants or doing civilian runs in order to be sustained.

Prepare a dialogue including the effect in the community in the absence of good governance.​
Over [174]

Explanation:

As governance indicators have proliferated in recent years, so has their use and the controversy that surrounds them. As more and more voices are pointing out, existing indicators – many of them developed and launched in the 1990s – have a number of flaws. This is particularly disquieting at a time when governance is at the very top of the development agenda.

Many questions of crucial importance to the development community – such as issues around the relationship between governance and (inclusive) growth, or about the effectiveness of aid in different contexts – are impossible to answer with confidence as long as we do not have good enough indicators, and hence data, on governance.

The litany of problems concerning existing governance indicators has been growing:

Indicators produced by certain NGOs (e.g. the Heritage Foundation), but also by commercial risk rating agencies (such as the PRS Group), are biased towards particular types of policies, and consequently, the assessment of governance becomes mingled with the assessment of policy choices;

Many indicators rely on surveys of business people (e.g. the World Economic Forum's Executive Opinion Survey). While they have important insights into governance challenges given their interaction with government bureaucracies, the views of other stakeholders are also important and remain underrepresented, as are concerns about governance of less relevance to the business community (e.g. civil and human rights);

The other main methodology used are indicators produced by individuals or small groups of external experts – for example, the World Bank’s Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA), Bertelsmann’s Transformation Index, and the French Development Agency’s Institutional Profiles. This entails the risk that different experts ‘feed’ on each other’s ratings; and the depth to which external raters are able to explore the dimensions they are rating can vary.
