Answer:

Oil spills damage soil, this causes the soil to become unusable and the crops growing to subside. Oil also causes water pollution because the oil rises to the top and coats the top of the water causing it to be very hard to get out of. Oil spills also damage nesting grounds, potentially causing serious long-term effects on entire species. ... By coating feathers, oil not only makes flying impossible but also destroys birds' natural waterproofing and insulation, leaving them vulnerable to hypothermia or overheating.

Mekhanik [1.2K]
The curved circulation of surface currents is caused by the <span>Earth's rotation. 

</span><span>The 'Coriolis Effect' describes how Earth's rotation steers winds and surface currents (Figure 14.14). The Earth is a sphere that spins on its axis in a counterclockwise direction when seen from the North Pole. The further towards one of the poles you move from the equator, the shorter the distance around the Earth. This means that objects on the equator move faster than objects further from the equator. While wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth is spinning underneath it. As a result, an object moving north or south along the Earth will appear to move in a curve, instead of in a straight line. Wind or water that travels toward the poles from the equator is deflected to the east, while wind or water that travels toward the equator from the poles gets bent to the west. The Coriolis Effect bends the direction of surface currents.</span><span>
