b is the answer hope this helped
Answer:
If the oil spilled in the gulf would have been processed oil, it would be worse than a normal oil spill as these oils have a higher shelf life.
Explanation:
Oil spills happen when a large quantity of oil gets mixed with large water bodies like <em>sea and oceans</em>. The oil being denser than water floats on the surface and does not mix with the water. It forms a coating on top of the water.
The difference between processed oil and normal oil is that they are heated at very <u>high temperatures</u> and this results in oxidation which creates <em>free radicals</em>, which are not good for the body and its cells. Also they have a very long shelf life due to which they will remain on water for a long time.
When oil spills happen, the <em>wind</em> cause the spill to spread over the water surface, thereby engulfing a large amount of area. The major disadvantages of the spill are:-
- The oil gets stuck in the feathers of the birds who come by to dip themselves,
- Animals like whale, dolphins have blow holes for releasing water. the oil covers these holes and makes it difficult for them to breathe.
- The fur of animals like <u>seal and otter </u>gets mixed with the oil and can prove harmful to them as it gets them exposed to cold.
- The overall BOD of the water body decreases, and organisms which use sun rays coming inside the ocean suffer as these get blocked.
- Since processed oil has longer shelf life, a large quantity of animals will suffer and die.
Answer:
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Veins carry the blood back to the heart. Veins contain valves that ensure blood flows in only one direction. Arteries don’t require valves because pressure from the heart is so strong that blood is only able to flow in one direction.
Explanation:
When planting vegetables it is very important to know the climate of the area, its usual patterns, and how will that affect the growth and development of the crops. The soil quality too is very important, as it is the basis for the development of the root-stock of the crops.
If we have a temperate type of climate, than we have four different seasons, meaning different weather patterns throughout the year. We can take onions, radish, and peppers as vegetables of choice. The onions can be planted in mid-autumn, as they will need more moisture, and they are resilient to low temperatures, thus will not have problems in the winter, and in the spring they will already have the basis so will grow quickly and be larger. The radish can be planet in late winter or early spring, in a period when there is more precipitation. It is not a vegetable that likes high temperatures, so with its quick development, it will be able to develop the tuber by late spring. The peppers can not sustain low temperatures, so they should be planted in late spring. They also like warm weather and lot of water, so it will be needed to water them a lot in the hot and dry period. They will manage to develop and produce the vegetables by the end of the summer, thus not getting damaged by the cold nights in the autumn.
