Crude oil can affect the environment in many way, one of these ways is by oil spillages in the the ocean. the causes the oil to spread out over the surface of the water which leads to the deaths of hundreds of marine life. a good example of this is when you see the pictures of the birds covered in the black thick oil on their feathers, which prevents them from flying and if the try and get into the water they will sink because we their feathers are too heavy with the layer of oil on top of them.
