Oil Spills
K.Manasa, Kandukur
Oil spills happen when people make mistakes or are careless and cause an oil tanker to leak oil into the ocean. There are a few more ways an oil spill can occur. Equipment breaking down may cause an oil spill. If the equipment breaks down, the tanker may get stuck on shallow land. When they start to drive the tanker again, they can put a hole in the tanker causing it to leak oil.
Cleanup and recovery from an oil spill is difficult and depends upon many factors. Such as use of micro organisms or biological agents to break down or remove oil.
