What disaster to the environment did the ship Valdez cause?
The ship Exxon Valdez caused one of the worst oil spills in history when it ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska in 1989. Approximately 11 million gallons of crude oil were released into the pristine waters, leading to devastating impacts on wildlife, ecosystems, and local communities.
Does a sunken ship sitting on the ocean floor have a buoyant force on it?
Yes, a sunken ship on the ocean floor experiences a buoyant force pushing up on it that is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ship. This buoyant force helps to keep the ship in place on the ocean floor despite its weight.
Why ship doenot sink in ocean?
Ships don't sink in the ocean because the air pressure pushes the ship upward and keeps it buoyant-------------------------------- Ships don't sink because the overall density of the ship is lower than the density of the salt water and it displaces its weight's equivalent of water using only a portion of the ship's volume.
How does forcing air into the ballast tanks cause the ship to rise?
Action and reaction , the ship is lighter from the discharged ballast- so it will float upwards with buoyancy. One assumes you are talking about submarines. Some surface ships have trim tanks to compensate for cargo compartments not being balanced- etc. but this is not a submergence device.
How many barrels of oil in a DWT?
A deadweight ton (DWT) is a unit of measurement for a ship's cargo capacity, not directly related to the volume of oil. The amount of oil that can be carried in a DWT depends on the density of the oil and the specific characteristics of the ship's storage tanks.
Can a cargo ship carry 500 gallons of water?
Without a doubt.
How many gallons to the mile does a cruise ship use?
10000 gallons
Which type of ship can carry the most cargo?
If you consider the "most cargo" to be by weight or volume then the answer would be a Supertanker. VLCC stands for Very Large Crude Carriers. These tankers can carry up to 400,000 tons of crude oil and are over 1,000ft in length.
How can a supertanker float?
A supertanker floats due to a principle in physics known as buoyancy. The volume of water displaced by the weight of the supertanker is greater than the weight of the ship itself, allowing it to float on the surface of the water. Additionally, the design and shape of the hull help distribute the weight of the ship evenly, aiding in its ability to float.
How many Gallons in a cruise ship gas tank?
I think around 700,000 gallons
Can oil tankers carry guns?
Legally no, as fire arms on a ship transporting millions of gallons of fammable fuel can be dangerous.
How many warriors could a viking long ship carry?
about 100
How many juggernauts can a helicopter carry?
None, 'Juggernaught ' is a giant ship
What is the stopping distance for a supertanker?
A crash stop maneuver (from 'full ahead' to 'full reverse') can stop a fully loaded supertanker within approximately three kilometres, which takes about 14 minutes.The turning diameter is almost two kilometres.(These values vary according to ship size and weight, of course).
How many people could Hernando de Soto ship carry?
598
What type of ship is specifically designed to carry other ships?
A ship designed to carry other ships is called a "carrier ship."
How many people can a normal cruise ship carry?
I'm not sure probably 3500
