Answer: Mammals can get entangled in the plastic, which can prevent them from swimming properly.

Plastic is a non-biodegradable waste, which is either disposed off in the water body either as urban waste or deposited by surface runoff. Being lighter in density it floats over the surface of water body deteriorating the quality of water and affecting the life of marine animals. The marine animals may avoid the cluster of plastics or may get entangled in it, which may result in the suffocating the lives of these animals and may lead to mortality.

Hence, on the basis of above description, mammals can get entangled in the plastic, which can prevent them from swimming properly is the immediate impact of floating plastic on marine mammals.

Answer:

A scientific law is formed when the results of an experiment generate the same results every time a particular experiment is performed. A scientific law is made when something has been thoroughly tested again and again through experimentation. Unlike the theory, a scientific law is not subjected to change with time. A scientific law is accepted universally and other hypothesis can be generated based on the authenticity of the law.
