What was the overall effectiveness of your chosen clean-up methods? estimate how much of the spill you were able to clean using the physical method and using the chemical method. which area was most difficult to clean: the water, the shore, or the feathers? why? what factors would be present in an actual oil spill that was not included in your model? what impacts might your clean-up methods have on the environment?

By using the physical, about one third of cleaning of the spill was achieved, by using the chemical method about 60% clean up was achieved.

The most difficult areas to the clean up of the spill was in the shore, because it keeps absorbing in the sand, thereby making the work harder.

Factors that is present in the actual oil spill, is movement of current and waves

Finally, the impact it will have on the environment are on marine life, through chemical methods it will affect food web and plant in a negative form.

Explanation:

From the question given, we solve the following statements:

I was close to to cleaning up of almost one third of the spill by use of a cotton balls, (physical method) however i was able to achieve 60% clean up using a detergent (chemical method) The most difficult area i encountered in the clean up of the spill was the shore, because as the oil enters the sand, it becomes harder to remove ll the oil, once its has enter all parts of the sand The factors that would be available in the actual oil spill is the current and wave movements, and also marine life. The impacts it might have on the environment is on marine life, the chemical methods will affect resulting to effects that are negative such as food web disruption and plant destruction.
