Answer:

<em>The Minerals Management Service (MMS)</em>

Explanation:

In 2010  Deepwater Horizon project exploded and killed 11 people causing also the largest oil spill in US history.

The MMS was the federal agency responsible for overseeing offshore drilling, however, they had received financial favors (bribes) from oil companies and had a severe conflict of interest, they ignored science and underestimated environmental impacts in order to ensure the speedy approval of oil industry projects among other acts of negligence. The MMS was in part responsible for this event, or at the very least for not handling correctly.

Supernovas occur when____forms in a stars core
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Fusion

Explanation:

Supernova Definition:

The supernova occurs after fusion begins to pile up iron in the high-mass star's core. Because iron fusion cannot release energy, the core cannot hold off the crush of gravity for long. In the instant that gravity overcomes degeneracy pressure, the core collapses and the star explodes.

Fun Fact!

Approximately one supernova occurs every second. Supernova happens more often than you might think: One occurs somewhere in the universe every second!
