Oil slicks can significantly impact coastal regions, marine ecosystems, and local economies. Areas such as beaches, wetlands, and fishing grounds often suffer from contamination, leading to harm to wildlife and disruption of habitats. Communities reliant on tourism or fishing may face economic hardships due to the pollution. Additionally, the environmental damage can have long-term consequences, affecting water quality and biodiversity.

What places are going to be effected by the Gulf Oil Spill?

Affected By BP Oil DisasterNo one knows yet how far-reaching the BP Oil Disaster will be. Certainly, all the United States' Gulf Coast is already being affected, but the way the currents go, most of the eastern coastline could be affected, too. The oil slick could then move across the ocean to Europe. Another factor is pollutants that are getting into the air, not only from the oil, but from gases escaping with the oil and the dispersant that BP used. Air currants and storms that originate in the Gulf could carry those pollutants along their paths to places north of the Gulf and much farther inland.

When you spill oil what kind of force will it reduce?

When oil is spilled, it creates a slick that reduces the frictional force between surfaces, particularly on water. This reduction in friction can impact the movement of boats and marine life, making surfaces more slippery and potentially altering the behavior of organisms in the affected area. Additionally, the slick can diminish the effectiveness of natural cleaning processes in the environment.
