The environmental problems of transporting crude oil across the sea is that if it were to be spilt some how then it would be in the sea for a very long time ( 1-2 years) this will affect the creatures of the water for exmple the fishes In fact spills from tankers have been a regular occurrence and the effects can last for decades. In the case of the Exxon Valdez spill into Prince William Sound in Alaska, for example, there is still residue present and it is still having negative effects on the environment.
What other thing you can do with crude oil.
the constituents of crude oil are FEUL OIL,LPG, NAPHTHA,GASOLNE ETC
Some of the environmental effects that can occur when obtaining energy sources include spills that leak into other natural resources. If an oil platform explodes, it may leak crude oil into ocean or seawater and kill aquatic animals.
No because crude oil does get to the surface so there are bugs that destroy it.
Crude oil is very bad for the environment when in use, leading to environmental issues including global warming in the future
It can explode and when it spills it creates problems with the eco system mainly birds. Birds die because the oil poisons the fish they eat.
it can explode!
It can cause pollution
If you drink crude oil you will likely get diarrhea. Depending on the source of the crude and how much you drink you may experience other gastrointestinal problems. Drinking crude oil is NOT a good idea.
Will Crude Oil on my land cause it to be too toxic to live on it?
Crude oil is a mixture of compounds called hydrocarbons. Many useful materials can be produced from crude oil. It can be separated into different fractions using fractional distillation, and some of these can be used as fuels. Unfortunately, there are environmental consequences when fossil fuels such as crude oil and its products are used.
crude oil is of lighter density had hence floats on water molecules and prevents any living micro-organism to absorb oxygen/water essential for life mostly found in the earths crust.
