__**Deep Plumes of Oil Could Cause Dead Zones in the Gulf**__ **__Summary__** Since the oil spill happened at the Gulf of Mexico a reasercher suggested dead zones could form there. Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Princeton University did research on the hypothesis. They concluded that they will likely to be dead zones there. According to the scientists research the belive that it will be peaking in October. The thing is another study says that the "overall impact on the oxygen is the same." **__Personal Thoughts and Opinions__**

When I saw this artical about the Dead Zones in the Gulf, I clicked on it before I even knew I did it. I was so amazed that Dead Zones could happen in the gulf, it never came to my mind that it could happen. When I read that they could start around October I just thougth, "Oh no it could be happening right now!!" Since there was so much pollution in the gulf enough to make a Dead Zone possible it shows how much oil and poulltion we have in our world.

Dead Zones-a region of ocean where oxygen levels have dropped too low to support most forms of life, typically because microbes consuming a lot nutrients in the water use up the local oxygen as they consume the material

__**The NOAA**__ ﻿- I wondered what this organization did so I reseached them.

NOAA is an organization that enriches life through science. The NOAA tells about weather, oceans, fisheries, charting, satellites, climate, and coasts.
