The water movements of Pacific Ocean bring the objects together and cause them to go around in a big circle. Charles Moore found it in 1997 and named it “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” .
44、Where does all the plastic come from? Much of the garbage comes from everyday objects, such as shopping bags and water bottles. Some of these objects finally reach the ocean. Garbage from the western coast of North America takes about six years to reach it. Objects from East Asia take about a year.
45、Other garbage comes from ships passing through the area. Is the Garbage Patch dangerous? The larger pieces of garbage are a problem for wildlife. For example, sea turtles（海龟） and seabirds often think the plastic is their food. They eat the plastic and die. In addition, the plastic stops sunlight fro
