Question

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is an area in the north Pacific ocean that contains trash and causes harm to ocean life and those that consume that life. What lessons can be learned from this floating pile of trash? There is no relationship between our daily activities and the environment. There are more polluters in the Pacific ocean than in the Atlantic ocean. There are areas of the ocean to avoid with boats. There is a relationship among all living things on the earth.

Answer 1

D) There is a relationship among all living things on the earth

Answer 2

The correct answer is that there is an association between all the living things on Earth.  

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch refers to the biggest of the five offshore plastic gathering zones in the oceans of the world. It is situated amid the California and Hawaii.

The robust and more buoyant plastics demonstrate resiliency in the marine environment, permitting them to be translocated over more distances. They are found lying at the surface of the sea as they make their way offshore, mediated via converging currents and eventually gathering in the form of a patch.  

As these plastics get within the gyre, they are not likely to leave the region until they get dissociate into smaller microplastics under the influences of waves, sun, and marine life. With more and more plastics are discarded into the environment, the concentration of microplastics in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch will only keep on rising.  

Due to the formation of Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the entire health of the ecosystem is influenced enormously. The entanglement and ingestion of marine debris straightforwardly influence marine life. Also, the existence of marine debris can hamper an overall food web via its indirect consequences.
