Answer:

An oil spill happening near the shore would be more dangerous because now not only is aquatic life in danger so are humans, in the sense of them swimming in the oil and possibly ingesting it. which would cause poisoning and could potentially lead to death.

Well now not only are you killing less aqua animals. But as well as you are affecting less drinking water. But the main town supply of fish and water come from there, thus making it dangerous and hazardous after being infected.
Hope this helps

What causes reversal of biochemical reactions?
Alexxandr [17]

A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B. This is distinct from reversible process in thermodynamics.

Weak acids and bases undertake reversible reactions. For example, carbonic acid: H2CO3 (l) + H2O(l) ⇌ HCO−3 (aq) + H3O+(aq).

The concentrations of reactants and products in an equilibrium mixture are determined by the analytical concentrations of the reagents (A and B or C and D) and the equilibrium constant, K. The magnitude of the equilibrium constant depends on the Gibbs free energy change for the reaction.[2] So, when the free energy change is large (more than about 30 kJ mol−1), then the equilibrium constant is large (log K > 3) and the concentrations of the reactants at equilibrium are very small. Such a reaction is sometimes considered to be an irreversible reaction, although in reality small amounts of the reactants are still expected to be present in the reacting system. A truly irreversible chemical reaction is usually achieved when one of the products exits the reacting system, for example, as does carbon dioxide (volatile) in the reaction

Can someone give me 4 examples of physical weathering
valkas [14]
Yes, sure!

1) Moving Water - Water, when running for a long period of time, can actually start to weather rocks.

2) <span>Ice wedging - Yep, this can cause rocks to weather as well. Water, when being constantly frozen and unfrozen weathers the rock due to the fact that water is able to expand.
</span>
3) Plant Roots - Ah, these little nutrient grabbers can certainly weather rocks over periods of time.

4) Winds - Winds can certainly physically weather the rocks, and it's probably the most common way they do.


<span>P.S. If this answer helped you, please, make sure to say "Thanks" just below my answer. It will help me a lot</span>
