volume of the Exxon Valdez spill. This oil is much more toxic too. Information can be found in the
section Marine Pollutants May Be Natural or Human Generated.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Sometimes these species out-compete native species. When they enter an area, they often cause a
decline in the biodiversity of the community. Information can be found in the section Marine
Pollutants May Be Natural or Human Generated.
