How does a plastic bottle thrown on the ground by a person in St. Louis, in the middle of the United States, become microplastic

in the Gulf of Mexico?
Incineration of plastics results in the production of microplastic that can be carried by the wind all over the planet.

Much of the trash east of the Mississippi River is shipped to the Gulf of Mexico for disposal, then the plastic dumped into the Gulf is broken down into smaller and smaller pieces.

Plastics are ground into tiny pieces before being washed down the drains of waste management facilities, ultimately reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

Trash thrown on the ground can wash into streams and rivers and find its way into the Gulf of Mexico, where the plastic is broken down into smaller and smaller pieces.

PLEASE HELP

Answer: Option d

Explanation:

Trash thrown on the ground by a person can travel to the Gulf of mexico by water ways. A small bottle can travel from the ground to the stream and lakes and they it finds its way towards Gulf of Mexico.

The plastic bottle must have been broken down into smaller pieces and this is how it can travel through the water ways to the Gulf of Mexico.

A small piece of plastic thrown can be a serious issue as it cannot be degraded and hence it travels along the water to major seas and oceans.

As for this problem, the most probable answer and the most likely answer for this one would be D. the effect of pesticides on organisms in the environment.

A toxicologist would only study about chemicals and their effect on organisms in the environment. Pesticides are chemicals made to combat organisms that aren't wanted particular parts of the environment such as crops and rice field. These pesticides don't just affect those organisms that are targeted, but even the users and other organisms that may have come in contact with pesticides.
