I feel that there could be multiple people responsible for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. First, the oil spill could be the people who made the blocker’s fault. They could have made a faulty one, and they would be responsible for the entire spill because they’re blocker didn’t work. Also, it could be the person who put the blocker into the oil well, the person could have been rushing and could have not properly put the blocker in.  Another person who could be blamed for the oil spill is BP themselves, they could have done something wrong, the could have been rushing, and they also could have not been paying attention to what they were doing. They could have done multiple things wrong that would have made the oil spill happen. In conclusion, I do not think that the oil spill was one particular person’s fault, I think there were many people that could take the blame.

COAL:

carbon, sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen


how is it formed?
It's formed from the remains of vegetation that grew as long as 400 million years ago.  This process is called "coalification." During coalification, peat undergoes several changes as a result of bacterial decay, compaction, heat, and time.

Dante's Peak

Three things that weren't realistic in the movie were:
- Dante's Peak isn't a real place.
- The earth quake was over exaggerated, it wouldn't have been that bad.
- In the beginning the water wouldn't have boiled and killed people

Three things that were realistic were:
- The lake would have been toxic.
- The pyroclastic flow would have been like that.
- There would have been many explosions, and than one big one.
