Within a couple of days of the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf‚ underwater cameras showed the BP pipe was leaking oil and gas into the ocean floor about 42 miles off the coast of Louisiana.

The punishments for a corporation convicted of a crime are typically fines. For example‚ after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill‚ BP paid billions in fines after being convicted of criminal charges. It is within reason that other punishments could be enforced. The corporation could be assigned probation‚ have further SEC regulations levied against it‚ or be barred

INTRODUCTION The environments of Earth include conditions in which physical and chemical extremes make it very difficult for organisms to survive. Conditions that can destroy living cells and biomolecules include high and low temperatures; low amounts of oxygen and water; and high levels of salinity‚ acidity‚ alkalinity‚ and radiation. Examples of extreme environments on Earth are hot geysers and oceanic thermal vents‚ Antarctic sea ice‚ and oxygen-depleted rivers and lakes. Organisms that have

Applied science being science they do to learn how to fix a problem or how that problem is influencing the environment. For instance‚ when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank in the Gulf of Mexico on April 22‚ 2010. Which sets the record for the world’s worst oil spill in history.

Oil/ Petrol Research Project In the modern world we use oil every second of the day‚ whether we realise it or not. We use oil to fuel our cars‚ our public transports‚ etc. Without oil our daily lives would be the same. Oil is a natural resource that comes from beneath the earth’s crust; it is trapped in pockets under the earth. Finding oil trapped underground is very complicated and costly‚ it takes millions of dollars to drill a well and only a few are successful. Oil travels upwards from the
