The North Pacific Ocean, got the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre there. The gyre is created by a high pressure system from the air, it moves in a clockwise spiral and moves very slowly. The ocean gyre is a circular ocean current formed by the Earth's wind pattern and created by the rotation of the planet. It then enters a very calm and stable vortex zone. The circular motion of the vortex tends to attract debris. The vortex movement prevents trash and other objects from escaping. This area is called the oceanic desert. Small phytoplankton but few fish or mammals fill the oceanic desert. This area is not only full of plankton, but also garbage. Millions of kilos of plastic, it is the largest landfill in the world and floats in the middle of the ocean. The Western and Eastern Pacific Garbage Patches are two large, continually accumulating masses of waste, said to have originated from the Gyre. The present represents a great deal of risk to marine life, fishing and tourism. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, for every square mile of ocean there are over 46,000 pieces of plastic floating around. There is a large amount of material that accumulates because much of it is not biodegradable. Like plastic, it doesn't wear out, it just breaks into pieces. They say plastic is called the chemical sponge, plastic is the most harmful debris found in the oceans. DANGERS 3 Many ocean animals eat tiny pieces of plastic and ingest toxic pollutants. There is a lot of trash that can enter the ocean, such as glass bottles, aluminum cans, medical waste, etc. Most of the waste that ends up in paper can even destroy the environment. The effects of failure to recycle can be very dangerous for the ecosystem and for the health of all living beings. This is why it is very important to recycle.Works CitedFinnish Environment Institute (SYKE) (2013, December 3).
