The plastic trash gets transported all through the planet with the help of ocean currents. The term Great Pacific Garbage Patch was first named by Captain Charles Moore. He found that huge intact substances like cups, bottles, boxes, bags, and fishing nets, and other millions of smaller pieces of plastic over an estimated region covering about 650000 to 16000000 square kilometers.
The garbage patches are witnessed in the oceans of the world wherever there is gyre. The gyres refer to the enormous circulating regions of water comprising the prime surface currents of the globe, mediated by the existing winds. The plastics would have got caught up in a gyre and would have been ended up in a region, known as the garbage patch.
The currents present in the gyre take in the floating substance from around the periphery and trap it in the center. The currents and waves dissociate the plastic components into smaller pieces, however, it never goes away, and gets transported to different regions with the help of currents.
The ocean currents mediate and transport useful things like organic nutrients, heat energy, and marine species from one location to another of the planet. However, at the same time, they can also transport other unnecessary floating things like plastic garbage.
The plastic, mainly the larger pieces that float on the surface are transported at a faster rate than the water present beneath it, this is because the wind that moves the current also moves the plastic. In this sense, the plastic is flowing freely all over the ocean surfaces of the globe.
There are 16 percent of farmers that are affected by the pest infestation.
What percent of gardeners overall had pests?
We know that three of the 13 farmers who used chemicals had pests whereas Seven of the 47 farmers who used fences had pests. So in total there are 10 farmers that are affected from pest out of 60 farmers.
So we can conclude that There are 16 percent of farmers that are affected by the pest infestation.

Lamprey and hagfish are jawless fish, with skeletons composed of cartilage. They do not have scales and are considered primitive fish. They are in the superclass cyclosystoma.
The answer is that the equatorial regions receive sun rays closest to the vertical (direct rays) because of their position relative to the equator where the tilting of the earth only mildly affects the climate. The climate along the equator changes very little through out the year and has summer like conditions for most of the year.
However the other regions may receive direct sun rays but for far more limited periods. In the months of July and August (summer months), the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and receives the most direct rays. The opposite occurs in December and January when it is tilted away from the sun and thus winter sets in, whereas the southern hemisphere is at this time tilted toward the sun and receives the most direct sun rays.
