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

From the drop down menus on the map, choose the Native American cultural group that lived in each area.
Annette [7]

Plains Indians, Interior Plains Indians or Indigenous people of the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies are the Native American tribes and First Nation band governments who have traditionally lived on the greater Interior Plains (i.e. the Great Plains and the Canadian Prairies) in North America. Their historic nomadic culture and development of equestrian culture and resistance to domination by the government and military forces of Canada and the United States have made the Plains Indian culture groups an archetype in literature and art for American Indians everywhere

What influenced the way americans got news about the war in 1914? apex
Elza [17]

<span>American people read more British news than German news. The year 1914 was a significant year to the world since it is the start of the World War I.  During this time, news reports about the war were spreading globally, and Germany, the one responsible for the World War I also sends news. However, it was easier for the Americans to receive British news than German news also because of the language barrier.</span>
