Oil floats on top of other liquids. When oil leaks from a ship at sea, it mainly affects things that live on the surface. Animals such as seals and seabirds are especially harmed.

Salad dressing is made of a mixture of oil and vinegar. It doesn’t matter which you pour into the jar first; the important thing is to shake it hard each time you want to use it. If you don’t, you will end up with only oil on your salad.

When there is no rain for a long time it is known as a drought. Long, hot, dry summers are when the worst droughts happen.

Plants need water to live. Without it they dry out, turn brown and die. On a farm where grass is needed for animals, a drought can be a disaster. Without grass and water the farmers’ animals die. Plants grown for food die. Rivers and wells dry up. People suffer as well as the animals.

Long droughts can also mean grass or forest fires. Once a fire starts, it spreads quickly across the countryside.
