Alaska in Prince William Sound. The oil is still in the environment and will be for another 100 years. It ruined a pristine environment and killed many animals. If you would like to see what it did you can find it online and get a first hand view of that happened as the oil came ashore and mixed with the cold water.

If oil gets on you it could kill you. Oil can kill all sea life and plants in the ocean.

Get a bag of cheap, but absorbent cat litter to soak the liquid oil. Scoop it up and put into a double trash bag (so it doesn't leak in you car) and take it to a parts store or an auto service center and see if they will put it with their oil to be recycled. The oil stain on the concrete can be cleaned with Purple Power and a scrub brush, and the residue can be hosed down and flushed outside or into a city storm drain (the water deludes the chemicals enough, so they aren't harmful).

There was zero evidence that Captain Hazelwood was drunk during his time on the ship. He was not on duty during the collision either. The Third Mate was guiding the ship on autopilot.

The main cause according to the NTSB was the failure to repair the sonar that would have told the helmsman and third mate that the reef was coming up. There is no mention of alcohol being a factor in any NTSB report.

The ship ran aground and the rocks punctured the hull of the ship.

1. Sonar that should have been working was not.

2. The ship was taking a shortcut through very shallow waters with the Capt. downstairs and the needed equipment not functioning. (Sonar)

3. Cheap construction of the ship reducing a margin of safety. They used a single hull system to lower cost. This meant no protection for a single puncture. Double hull laws were soon enacted by the US after this disaster in hopes of preventing or reducing further oil disasters.

3 times actually and they were masive.

hope this helps babes

Of corse not but look on the facts just in case

yes it effected fish and plants wich also effected us by ruining drinking water

Oil spills can happen anywhere where oil, not limited to crude oil, is contained, produced, used, transferred or transported. Some examples are Oil platforms in the sea, oil wells on land, oil tankers transporting oil, facilities that refine the oil or transfer it to ships, motor vehicle workshops, motor cars, boats, restaurants, etc.

Spilling even half a cup of oil in water or on the ground is still an oil spill and can be hazardous to the environment. Not only crude oil from oil wells are hazardous to the environment, but also cooking oil and motor oil (to name a few) are.

The worst oil spill ever happend in march 15, 1910 in Kern County, California when a man named Julius Fried bought a patch of land hoping to strike it rich with oil. Months passed and the drill hit 2,200 feet (670 meters) below the surface, and the well erupted and gushed uncontrollably for 18 months spewing 9 million barrels of oil. About 5 million barrels were captured and sold.

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.

i need to buy sandhi sudha oil in sri lanka

a 200.1000 people died in there

yes very greatly first it covers the sea surface and reduce the supply of oxygen and sun rays, next it make water poisnous to aquatic plants and animals, it also effect on sea birds as the layer of oil stick on them and make them heavy because of which they become unable to fly and die.

Density = mass ÷ volume, which can also be written as Density = Mass ÷ (length x width x height).

Height is your thickness, so isolating the variable gets you

Height = Mass ÷ Length ÷ Width ÷ Density.

If the BP oil spill is any indicator the price of exxon took a 60% short term hit. And, of course it eventually completely recovered.

Because the spill impacted 1,300 miles, it took the Exxon Valdez Company four summers to clean up the spill. Some oil may still remain on the beaches. It took 10,000 workers, 1,000 boats, 100 airplanes, and the Navy, Army, and Air Force to clean up the spill. Exxon spent about $2.1 billion for the clean up.

The term animals can be applied to a number of life forms from krill to Blue Whales. Specific animal related death rates are occasionally developed for rare, endangered or "cute" critters, usually after an oil spill. The general animal deaths number has never been calculated.

To calculate the number it would be necessary to determine:

* Number of animals of the species alive at any given time. * Total mortality rate from all causes. * Percentage attributable to pollution. This is far more than a life's work. Additionally, the data would be changing as fast as you could collect it. And this is precisely the problem with assessment of the pollution of our oceans. Pollution is massive (consider the North Pacific Gyre), and there isn't a good way to "get a handle on it" in an attempt to affect changes. The problem is just "out there" and bringing it home takes massive effort.

In the specific case of oil spills it would also be necessary to know the number and location oil spills each year. Many jurisdictions do not require reporting, many spills are never identified and many purposeful discharges occur. This data would be as difficult to assemle as the number of animal deaths.

The current estimate is between 114 million and 144 million liters (about 800,000 barrels). This number is far beyond the hopelessly optimistic number put forth by Exxon, who gave a "low-ball" estimate of about 10.8 gallons. This number, unfortunately, is still reported in the press but two independent investigations have found the estimate erroneous in the extreme.

There were three methods for cleaning up the spill. Burning, Mechanical Cleanup, and Chemical Dispersants. Burning could not work because of unfavorable weather. There was not enough wave action for the chemicals to clean up the spill. Mechanicul Cleanup worked but it was a slow process, because they did not have the necessary equipment in the first 24 hours.

making sure there isnt alot of oil in the tank

When the Exxon Valdez hit Bligh Reef in March 1989, splitting its side open and releasing up to 115,000 m³ of crude oil, the spillage affected 1,900 km of coastline; loss of wildlife estimates were 250,000 seabirds, nearly 3,000 sea otters, 300 harbour seals, 250 bald eagles, up to 22 killer whales and billions of salmon and herring eggs.

8000 gallons

The Exxon Valdez oil spill did not occur near the polar bear's habitat so none were affected.
