Question

If oil spills continue, all of the following should be expected except (2 points)

death of aquatic life.

polluted groundwater.

decreased soil productivity.

increased global temperatures.

Answer 1

Answer: Increased global temperature

Explanation:

There is no direct effect of oil spillage on climate or global unless the spillage does not caught fire.

Only in this case, huge amount of carbon dioxide will be released which affect the climate locally else oil spillage has no effect on the global temperature.

Death of aquatic animals, polluted ground water, decreased soil productivity are some of the consequences that can be seen in case of oil spillage.

Answer 2

Polluted ground water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rocks through which water flows into the ground sieves most of the contaminants whose molecules are larger than most bacteria. Such molecules include but are not limited oil molecules. Therefore as it descends to the lower levels of the soil profile, water is subjected to continuous filtration by the layers and it is the least susceptible to contamination by oil spills.
