Welcome to the North Pacific Garbage Patch, the world's largest garbage dump. Distributed across the Pacific, the North Pacific Garbage Patch is actually a series of garbage vortices and is a top tourist destination for plastic, chemical mud and wood gravel. Explaining its size is difficult because it is constantly moving and is primarily a soup of small plastic bags, not an island of food bags and drinking straws. But some scientists estimate that it is about 700,000 km2, which is about the size of Texas. If you spend time on the beaches, you may notice plastic garbage like water bottles and toys, but there are many less noticeable nutrients as well, such as small beads or small silverware. Every beach in the world is littered with plastic waste because of the way garbage moves from inland to the sea, and then trapped by ocean currents. Whether you live on the coast or not, everyone is connected to the oceans of the earth's oceans that rotate enormous… and trash.
Introduction Somehow garbage can be seen at sea in California from the garbage dump 2,500 nautical miles east of Hawaii. That so far with one piece of plastic or a bottle of water all over .all starts with the wind. In the oceans, we call it the horizontal flow of water like the ocean currents. Like wind, ocean currents are an ever-present source of energy. And like wind, ocean currents are driven by varying degrees of pressure and pressure. In the air, changes in quantity and pressure are due to variations in the amount of insolation, or incoming sunlight, received by various parts of the atmosphere. And seawater is heated by re-heating it. Because of its direct sunlight, the water near the equator absorbs more heat than the surface water. This creates a lot of variation within the ocean, because - like air - warm water is less than cold water. Primarily when heated, molecules tend to disperse. The amount of water is affected by salt, or the salt content of water.
The salt water is thicker than the salty water, for there are many saline molecules and water hanging around it. Warm water in the ocean stretches like a wind, but because it can't stretch to the side - because you know, there's water there - it rises, lifting just above it, like a hill. And cold, salty water contracts reduce stress. So the ocean floor is completely flat. It contains an unusual sea level rise. The “mound” of water has a greater degree of pressure than immersion. And generally, anything in a high-pressure area - be it air or water or a student in a stressful classroom - wants to move to a low-pressure area. So these pressure gradients force water to flow around the world. Technically everything is the same water, but different currents are defined because they run in the same direction, similar to different waterways. There are at least 30 large currents called surface currents and many smaller currents that carry seawater around the world. So if our garbage finds its way to the right place, you can travel all over the world! We can make many comparisons between ocean currents and wind patterns, but the higher currents are also driven by strong, unchanging air currents. Energy is transferred from the air to the water by gravity as the wind blows across the surface. For example, winds caused by areas of high temperature pressures around 30 degrees and help to create ocean currents that rotate in patterns called gyres. But while the waves of the sea often follow the winds, these two are not mirror images.
The ocean currents arrive and block out the major windbreaks right there and then: the continents and the earth's crust. These roadblocks provide unusual currents, especially in places such as the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the North Atlantic Ocean where there is plenty of land. The currents are also curved by the Coriolis Effect, like all liquids on the surface of the earth. Keep in mind that the Earth rotates a lot on the equator and moves slowly as we move toward the poles. So when something that is not directly connected to the earth moves north or south, a change in pressure causes its path to bend. The effect of Cororiolis can actually divert some of the extra currents, depending on where in the world. For example, as the currents move from the equator, the effect of Cororiolis intensifies because the earth's rotation speed slows down, and it can break the currents into chains of many circular vortices, or eddy. These become smaller when you get closer to the parts as the Coriolis effect bends the currents tightly. There as the Ear
