how is wildlife affected by oil spills,could this affect our location,and are people affected by oil spills
wildlife is affected by how the oil spreads. it coats the animals in oil and it also covers the beaches and rocks.when it covers the animals it affects the birds the most. it covers their feathers in oil when covered in oil the feathers will no linoger provide instalation for them and will no longer be able to fly.this is why such a large amount of seabirds die from oil spills.
could this affectour location?yes,if oil gets from the costal region into our rivers and lake it could kill much more than marine life it could kill land animals.
oil spills dosnt affect humans as much as wildlife. it doesn't affect us because we dont have to be in the water marine life does.
