Naturally, as oil is a liquid it spreads out. And if we are talking about water it would spread on the surface of the water as oil and water don't mix.
It is spread in the water by an aircraft in the space where the oil spilled.
Yes. It must be processed, but it can be used in refineries.
The ink in a ballpoint pen is oil-based, which makes it water-resistant. When water is spilled on paper with ballpoint pen ink, the ink does not spread because the oil-based ink does not easily mix with the water. This helps to maintain the integrity of the written text or drawing despite exposure to water.
It depends on: * the amount spilled * the type of oil spilled (light or thick) * the characteristics of the soil (imperious or absorbant) * soil temperature * presence/absence of precipitation * soil cover (plants) * soil topography (flat, sloped, channelled)
