Oil spills are a major environmental concern, so tools have been developed to respond to oil spills effectively. responders use tools such as environmental sensitivity index (esi) maps to show which coastal areas are at greatest risk from an oil spill and the chemical aquatic fate and effects (cafe) database to provide information about what happens when particular chemicals get into the environment. explain how tools such as these are useful in responding to an oil spill, including how they responders make a plan and how they reduce the environmental impact of the spill.

Explanation:

Environmental sensitivity index (ESI) maps are a compilation of information about coastal shoreline sensitivity, biological resources, and human resources. The information on the ESI is used in planning in order to create cleanup strategies before an accident occurs so that authorities are prepared to take action in the event of such oil spill. Prior planning reduces the harmful effects of oil spills in the environment WHILE Chemical Aquatic Fate and Effects (CAFE ) serves as a tool to help responders to determine the environmental impacts of chemical or oil spills into an aquatic environment. CAFE can be used to choose between four different spill scenarios: chemical, oil only, dispersant only, and dispersants mixed with oil.

lizards have adapted to life in the desert. some desert lizards have toes with spiny scales to them run across the sand without sinking. some use the sand to hide from predators, or to search for small animals that they prey upon.
