Question

Which of the eight (8) weathering processes eventually determine the fate of the oil? (3)

Biodegradation

Dispersion

Dissolution

Emulsification

Evaporation

Oxidation

Sedimentation/Sinking

Spreading

Answer 1

Your question requires some presumptions for an answer.  I am presuming that you are asking about how an oil spill is resolved by natural processes.  In that case, the answer would be:

Degradation, evaporation and oxidation.  All the other processes merely spread out the oil or move it around, they do not get rid of it by breaking it down chemically.
