Answer:
An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially the marine ecosystem, due to human activity, and is a form of pollution. The term is usually given to marine oil spills, where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters, but spills may also occur on land. Oil spills may be due to releases of crude oil from tankers, offshore platforms, drilling rigs and wells, as well as spills of refined petroleum products (such as gasoline, diesel) and their by-products, heavier fuels used by large ships such as bunker fuel, or the spill of any oily refuse or waste oil.

Answer:
natural habitat
sulfur dioxide (SO2)
contaminate water, fuel floods and drought
reusable
Explanation:
Every organism has a unique ecosystem within which it lives. This ecosystem is its natural habitat. This is where the basic needs of the organism to survive are met: food, water, shelter from the weather and place to breed its young. All organisms need to adapt to their habitat to be able to survive.
Burning of coal results in emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2), which contributes to acid rain and respiratory illnesses, nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to smog and respiratory illnesses, carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the primary greenhouse gas.

Healthy forests are critical to providing clean water. ... Today, about 31 percent of the world's watershed area is covered by forests. Deforestation in these watersheds, often caused by commodity and agricultural production, can contaminate water, fuel floods and drought, and lead to higher water treatment costs.
But what makes cloth bags so much better than plastic? Cloth bags are better than plastic bags for many reasons, but two of the biggest reasons are: Cloth bags are reusable, decreasing the need to use more materials for single-use production, and. Cloth bags reduce plastic use and therefore plastic pollution.
