Question

How is the spilling of crude oil in the sea harmful for animal and plant life?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oil spills are harmful to marine birds and mammals as well as fish and shellfish.

Explanation:

Oil destroys the insulating ability of fur-bearing mammals, such as sea otters, and the water repellency of a bird's feathers, thus exposing these creatures to the harsh elements. Without the ability to repel water and insulate from the cold water, birds and mammals will die from hypothermia.
