What else can I help you with?
What would be the clean-up costs for an oil spill in water?
It would depend on the extent of the oil spill. If it is a major spill in the ocean then it would cost a bomb.
How do people clean up an oil spill?
we can help clean the oil spill by volunteering to help clean the animals who have oil on them.
Why is there a need to clean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?
because it is polluting the ocean and killing marine life
What would happen to the ocean food chain if there was a oil spill?
If there was a oil spill the entire ocean ecosystem would be at risk.
What ocean did the oil spill hit?
well....... the oil spill hit the gulf of Mexico
Can the oil spill be stopped?
Yes,it can be stopped.They will have to cap the spill, clean the oil from the water, and clean all the effected animals.
What can you do about an oil spill?
clean it up :)
What can you do about oil spill?
clean it up :)
How do you get oil spill in the ocean?
It could spill out of a tanker (Exxon Valdez), it could be from a wrecked oil derrick (BP Gulf Oil Spill).
What is the worst ocean oil spill in known history?
The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
What are facts about oil spill?
The oil spill kills millions of species of fish and birds and poisons their natural habitat.It costs millions to clean up after an oil spill.
How may weather and wind effect a real oil spill clean up?
When an oil spill cleanup needs to occur, weather and the wind can make a very big difference in the recovery. When an oil spill is recognised or recorded, scientists have to predict what area of the water is contaminated with the oil. Natural changeability in wind, weather and water currents (water waves), can change the path or direction of an oil spill, which makes it difficult to clean up the mess and predict where the oil had travelled up to. The more time the scientists take to clean up the oil spill, the harder it is to clean it up because it starts to spread out and take up more space as time goes by. The Wind can cause the oil spill to spread even faster, which can make it more difficult to clean up the oil spill. In rough weather conditions (storms, rain, snow, etc.), it can be very difficult to clean up the spill. Sometimes the scientists cannot start working on the recovery immediately, because of the climate and when they can't immediately start the recovery, it is much harder to capture all of the oil. Also, when a natural disaster occurs, or if there is too much wind the scientists cannot work on the oil spill very often, which cause the oil to spread and kill many marine animals, and birds. In real life, the main challenge is probably getting rid of all the oil, because of the length of the ocean. Now, oil spills can occur anywhere from rivers, lakes, streams or ponds, but if there is an oil spill in one of the main continental oceans, it is almost impossible to clean up 100% of the oil that had leaked/spilt. I think that our experiment gives us a few ideas on how the process may be like, but I don't think that it demonstrates to us how hard it is to clean 100% of the oil spill in real life.
