"On April 20, 2010, an explosion at the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig released over 130 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico." How do you think this affected the rest of the United States?

The oil spread by the ocean constantly moving and moved into the United States waters.

The BP oil spill damaged the shorelines of 4 gulf states. Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. It took three months to build the relief well to stop the flow. It immediately threatened more than 65,000 acres in for national wildlife refuges, home to endangered species
