Preventing oil spills

Answer 1

Hull fatigue in oil tankers, tankers breaking up in heavy seas, rust in pipelines. It is not possible to extract oil out of the ground or from the sea bed without spilling at least some oil. Many major oil spills have been avoidable, by spending more money on maintainence and inspection of tankers and pipelines, as well as heeding weather warnings.

Answer 2

Oil spills may be caused by oil tankers colliding at sea. These oil tankers transport oil from one place to another by sea. If they collide with any ships, rocks or other things out at sea, they will most likely topple over and the oil that they are carrying will leak out to the waters.

Hi there, I'm currently doin a project on this and the ones that I know are collisions, hull faliures, fires and explosion, groundings ( running a ground on reefs ect. ) Hope that helps!

Oil spills are caused by human error most of the time. There are probably cases of where a large boulder rolled into an oil pipeline and punctured it . . .

The Spill onto the Washington Mall rally grew out of the collective action taken against BP as a result of the explosion. First, we started boycott pages on Facebook. Then we took to the streets, gas stations, and beaches. After many of the boycott managers got to know each other, we thought that more needed to be done. The rally grew out of those conversations.

We never ask who anyone votes for or what party anyone usually backs. We realize it's time for us to stop seeing each as enemies enemies, and that partisanism is a strategy to keep us divided. All are welcome no matter the background, skin color, age, religion, sexual orientation, family status, disability, gender, or species. Bring your children, signs without sticks, tents, food, and voices.

We will meet on the Ellipse, in Washington D.C., next to the White House, from the morning of September 3rd until the morning of the 5th keeping the president's kids up, sorry girls, with speakers, bands, workshops, the Wall of Shame Gallery of bp posters, kids' tents, tabling and more.

We will no longer take a Washington that is so infiltrated by corporate control that we no longer know exactly who runs this country. We will tell them how to vote on bills, and expect strong legislation that suits the will of the people not wealthy campaign contributors and law makers with conflicts of interests between their money sources and the people. BP, you've become the poster child of corporate waste, abuse, incompetence, greed, and class divide.

Gulf residents have begun evacuating of their own accord due to the health effects of toxic air. Let's go for them, the animals, and the planet.
