The solar radiation effects on oil causes it to disperse and spread, leaving a thin layer of oil. Salt water doesn't do much to help since oil and water don't mix without certain chemicals that would damage the environment. Therefore the water has a more dense gravity ratio than oil which salt water's is 1.023 to 1.028 than oil 0.79 to 0.84. therefore the oil is pushed farther up and is the cause of the larger oil spill. Hope this helped.
What else can I help you with?
How do you remove acid spills on roads?
you put salt or water on it
Will oil settle faster in salt water or fresh water?
Oil will generally settle faster in salt water compared to fresh water, as the higher density of salt water makes it more effective at breaking up and dispersing oil droplets. This is why oil spills in oceans or seas can have a more immediate and severe impact compared to spills in freshwater bodies.
How can I make flaky salt at home?
To make flaky salt at home, you can dissolve sea salt in water, then let it evaporate slowly to form flakes. Alternatively, you can crush larger salt crystals to create flaky texture.
How do you make salt water denser?
you make salt water denser by adding more salt to the water
How could you make salt dissolve more quickly?
You can make salt dissolve more quickly by stirring it into hot water or using finer salt particles that have a larger surface area. You could also increase the agitation of the solution to help the salt particles interact with the water more effectively.
How can you make salt denser?
you make salt water denser by putting more water or taking the salt off the salt water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do oil spills evaporate in salt water?
Not entirely. The oil that spilled in the gulf coast will change in composition with time, due to evaporation and biological processes. It may exist the well head as a light oil and wash up later on beaches as an oil emulsion, or tar balls with a much higher viscosity.

What is water when salt is dissolved into water?
Water is the solvent and salt is the solute. Together they make a solution of salt water.
