What are two other causes than an oil spill in rivers?
depents on the first cause
Does water evaporate fast?
It can evaporate faster OR slower than other liquids. For example, if you are hot and you spill water on yourself and it cools you off, this is because it evaporates. But if you spill vegetable oil on you, it will not be refreshing, because it doesn't evaporate as fast.
What causes water to evaporate other than heat fastly?
Low pressure favors evaporation.
Can the BP oil spill dry out?
We usually say that oil in sea water will degrade rather than "dry out." Heat causes the more volatile components to evaporate. If oil-water emulsion washes up on a beach, some of the water can evaporate off, so in a sense it can dry out.
How big is the gulf oil spill?
So far, on the top of the water, the oil spill is bigger than New York! The state, not the city. It is still getting bigger every day!
In the case of the gulf oil spill would not the oil be heavier?
Crude Oil is less dense than water.
How does oil sit on top of water in an oil spill?
Oil is less dense than water, so it sits on top. It is also organic so is immiscible in water.
Does molasses have a higher viscosity than water?
Because molasses is so thick when you go to spill it, it will spill very slowly. unlike water where if you turn it over it will dump out very quickly if the molass es got out very slow it has more viscosity.
How do you make water flote?
You can make water float by adding a substance that is less dense than water, like oil, to create a layer on top of the water. The oil's density is lower than that of water, causing it to float. This can be demonstrated with an oil spill on water.
What property of liquids causes water droplets to form?
Because the water molecules attract each other more strongly than they are attracted to the substances around them. (Cohesion is greater than adhesion).
What is a good science project on the environment?
What is the best way to rid the water of oil (scenario: oil spill)? OR What are the most important factors that a dynamic rain-forest relies on other than the usual: food, water, air, space, shelter, sunlight.
Was the oil spill in Alaska bigger or smaller than the bp gulf spill?
it was smaller
