Since the 1970's there have been several devastating oil spills as a result of oil exploration and drilling: Ixtoc, Exxon Valdez

and, most recently, the Deepwater Horizon blowout off the coast of Louisiana. Ecosystems may survive and some may eventually recover from such oil spills. But the overall effects are far reaching and long-lasting. Scientists still see the effects of the Ixtoc spill on the crab populations in surrounding wetlands. All BUT ONE situation is an expected effect of the recent Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. That is: A) Tar balls buried beneath beach sand influence crustacean movements, habitats, and breeding patterns. B) The rapid extinction of top-level consumers in the Gulf food webs, such as sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles. C) Scrubbing efforts of surrounding wetlands interfere with an areas natural ability to regenerate plant growth. D) Deep sea oil plumes serve as a food source for bacteria, and in turn, the lower oxygen levels produce deep sea dead zones.

The answer choice which is <em>not ONE situation</em> that is an expected effect of the recent Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is the rapid extinction of <em>top-level consumers</em> in the Gulf food webs, such as sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles

As a result of this, we can see that based on the incident which occurred in the Gulf of Mexico where the largest oil spill in the nation's history occurred, there were different expected effects such as scrubbing efforts of the surrounding wetlands, etc.

However, the answer choice <em>which is not</em> an expected effect is the <em>extinction </em>of top level consumers like sharks, etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B

What did the great Compromise and the three-fifths compromise involve so much debate and discussion at the constitutional conven
evablogger [386]

Answer:  Because each state was looking out for its personal interests in regard to representation in Congress.

Details:

The Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise both focused on  the representation of states in Congress.   Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  

  • The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

How did the industrial revolution change society during the gilded age
Sindrei [870]
It happened in the 1800’s it allowed a lot more people to get paid more from their jobs resulting in a higher standard of living. This is where unions came in the picture, they wanted 8 hour work days and no child labor. The gilded age is known as a prosperous time for the nation but the government was very corrupt. There were corrupt industrialists, bankers and politicians who stole and benefited from the working class.

*The trans continental railroad made more people move west and created “robber barons”

*Since the government was corrupt muckrakers became a thing, the muckrakers exposed government corruption and such
