Answer:

The oil produced in United States is light and low sulfur content and they do not have proper processing facilities, hence purchase it from other countries.

Explanation:

It is very light in nature with low sulfur content or may be high,this particular factor depends upon the method of the refining. Most of the oil are being exported by the Saudi Arabia and then comes Russia followed  by Iraq. Despite the collapse in price, U.S. dependence on foreign oil should continue to decrease.

What fills in the need in the stream/ocean for salmon to have cold, clean and clear water
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>The salmon is among the most revered of coastal animals, for its cultural and spiritual importance to First Nations, its world-famous tasty flesh, and its role in the historical economy of BC. The most common salmon in our local waters are Chum and Coho. All Pacific salmon species are anadromous, meaning they spend most of their life in the ocean but migrate to fresh water to breed. Consequently they interact with several different ecosystems, and play important roles in terrestrial, freshwater and marine food webs.</span>
