Answer 2

The release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the ecosystem, due to human activity is called Oil Spill.

Explanation:

• To solve this problem, We can use the knowledge of Decantation: A method of separating mixtures.
• Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. Since, Oil is immiscible in water, it floats on surface and we can remove it with the help of decantation.
• A machine called an oil skimmer can be used which removes floating oil and grease from liquids. It works on the principle of decantation.
