Impact/Facts/Data
Facts of the Spill itself (distance covered with oil, amount of oil spilled into the environment, how it occurred, etc)
Habitat
Fishing Industries of Gulf States
Wildlife (marine mammals, fish, birds, etc.)
Long Term Impact on Wildlife, Industries, Other Facts you think are important
Answer the following questions using the facts you collected in your table:
1. Summarize the biological impact—specifically the negative effects the BP Deep Horizon oil spill had on wildlife in the Gulf area
2. Summarize the impacts you think the oil spill had on humanity.
3. What do you think was most impacted by the BP Oil Spill? Explain your answer
4. What type of wildlife do you believe suffered the greatest impacts of the oil spill, fish, birds, or marine mammals? Explain your answer.
5. What might a geologist have done, or what advice might he or she been able to give to prevent this disaster from happening?

Explanation / Answer
1) if there is a spill of oil then it will definetly have the negative effects only. this spill of oil can damage the environment and considered to be a type of pollution in water body. it will cause hazardeous effect on the life cycle of wildlife. it destroy the habitat of wildlife. greatly effect to their food system and food chain as well. it will also reduce the fraction of reproduction and breeding procedure. as the marine environment get polluted ,it will lead to many other serious problems to the animals who stay outside of water body. due to water poluution the level of dissolved oxygen also get reduced and hence it will kill the aquatic creatures. the land animals and birds are directly depends upon this water animals for their food. if the population of aquatic animals get decreases then they will either move to human society or will die of hunger.

2) as the oil spill have major environmental and economic effects. oil spill can also effect human health to a very dangerous level.it will lead to the environment pollution which will act as a source of diseases producing matter. as human also depend upon the aquatic creature for their food. if the water get polluted it will inject many diseases to the fishes and that will transfer to the human through their food resulting in serious diseases to human. it will also effect to the marine trade of human. as fisherman suffer from the great loss in their business due to lack of fishes and marine creatures. it will disturbed the whole ecological cycle and food chain of earth.

3) fom the bp oil spill i think that our environment will be most impected.as from the fact that oil spill lead to the pollution in the water body, which will destroy and disturbed the whole life cycle of marine creatures. it will reduced their population which will result in the lack of food for land animals and hence both will die of hunger. if the land animals who eat marine creature will die then it will rise the population of hervivorous and by their overgrazing terresterial plant will reduce which result in soil erosion and hence it totally disturbed the whole ecological process very badly. and the humans are also the part of ecosytem so he will also influnced by this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) it is not correct to say that only fishes or marine mammals suffered the greatest impact of oil spill. in fact it will destroy the whole ecological cycle and our environment. as the other creatures are also the part of environment so they will also get suffered from the impact of oil spill. but the disaster is taken in the water body so it will mainly or we can say greatly effect to the fishes .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) as from the point of view of a geologist he / she will measure the extent to which the parameter had taken and fix the issues accordingly. he will first understand the disaster and then give the following advice to people-
==> highlight the cause of disaster by human mistake.
==>by understanding the condition of disaster he will research and tell the people about "is there any further risk or not".
==>highligth the extent of pollution caused by disaster.
