Answer:

Environmental assessment (EA) is the assessment of the environmental consequences (positive negative) of a plan, policy, program, or actual projects prior to the decision to move forward with the proposed action. In this context, the term "environmental impact assessment" (EIA) is usually used when applied to actual projects by individuals or companies and the term "strategic environmental assessment" (SEA) applies to policies, plans and programmes most often proposed by organs of state.[1][2] It is a tool of environmental management forming a part of project approval and decision-making.[3] Environmental assessments may be governed by rules of administrative procedure regarding public participation and documentation of decision making, and may be subject to judicial review.

Explanation:

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse.An environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a process to predict the environmental consequences of a project's development. By evaluating the project through the EIA, we can assess the environmental effects of each plan and select the plan that will suit our needs the most. Since nature's well being is a key aspect in maintaining the world balance, the EIA has gained prominence, especially in the petroleum industry [1], for helping limit the human footprint on the natural world. Well planned developments aided by the EIA will greatly reduce risks associated with the petroleum industry, helping to avoid disasters such as the BP oil spill that contaminated much of the Gulf of Mexico and the surrounding coastlines in 2010.

In decades, oil slicks could become one of the world’s worst environmental disasters. Due to such factors as oxygen reduction and petroleum toxicity, oil spills threaten hundreds of species of fish, birds, any living beings including humans. A lot of species of wildlife have been threatened by the spills, including three basic elements: land, water, and air. Birds become easy prey, as their feathers , matted by oil, make them less able to fly away. Marine mammals lose body weight when they cannot feed due to contamination of their environment by oil.

hope you get the answer.....
