The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (aka BP Oil Spill) was one of the worst oil disasters in history. How much damage was done? How is BP making up for it? This is what we discovered: In the BP Oil Spill‚ more than 200 million gallons of crude oil was pumped into the Gulf of Mexico for a total of 87 days‚ making it the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. 16‚000 total miles of coastline have been affected‚ including the coasts of Texas‚ Louisiana‚ Mississippi‚ Alabama‚ and Florida. Even though the

their domestic consumptions of oil have led to increased prices of gasoline whereby alternative forms of energy production are sought. With this in mind‚ offshore drilling can be a viable option for satiating the need of oil and also to boost the economy of the nation. In this report‚ I am going to discuss how the current Deepwater Horizon rig explosion has led to disastrous oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico causing environmental problems and also discuss how the oil spill if resolved and with safe and

The Exon Valdez oil spill disaster occurred on March 24‚ 1989. This was the most devastating human-caused disaster in the United States history until twenty-one years later when The Deepwater Horizon occurred on April 20‚ 2010. Both disasters had a deadly effect on environmental life. These two incidents linked individuals taking shortcuts and being overconfident. Catastrophes do not happen by accident; something has to trigger them. Three main reasons why the disaster at Deepwater Horizon occurred:

The chemicals used in the drilling can be harmful to the environment‚ drilling itself poses a great danger‚ for instance in case of an oil spill (as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill showed)‚ and as the Exxon Valdez disaster so evidently portrayed‚ transportation can be equally

The size of the placenta may be important – average systolic blood pressure rises by 15 mmHg as placental weight increases from 1lb to 1.5lb. The highest blood pressures occur in men and women who were born as small babies with large placentas. Risk of high blood pressure in later life also increases: – as a baby’s birth length decreases – as the ratio of a baby’s head circumference
