Cause of oil spills
The causes for oils spills can be separated into 2 categories: natural and anthropogenic causes. Natural cause can be from oil that leaks out from the ocean floor into the water; erosion of the bottom of the ocean; or even climate change. Anthropogenic causes involve human activities and is how most oil enters the ocean. The ways oil spills anthropogenically in the ocean are because of drilling rigs, pipelines, refineries, and etc. An anthropogenic spill is a lot worse than natural spills as large amounts of oil entering the water at one time cause a bunch of ecological complications.
