A Study of the Central North Pacific Gyre
Questions
1. There are six gyres which are North Pacific Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and the South Atlantic Ocean.
2. The Central North Pacific Gyre would be at 5,523 miles. A possible estimation of the surface area could be 110,457.2 in statue miles.
3. A piece of marine debris could move 168 km in a week.
4. The least amount of time that the bottles were in the water when it was going to the Pacific Ocean, would be 17 hours.
5. It would take about 38.2 days to cross at maximum speed.
6. It would take 625 hours to reach the coast of California.
7. Yes, it is worth to study the Garbage Patch, but at the same time it is also a big waste of fuel.
8. Pros: - Take a look around you, most of the foods and drinks come in packaged plastic.
- It is more convenient, you don't need to do much when it comes in packaged.
- Plastic lasts a long time for use.
Cons: - It causes pollution.
- It causes sea animals to die when they eat it or get stuck in it.
- It is a hard substance to get rid of.
9. I believe the the North and South Pacific Ocean should have a public policy, because their gyres have a really big circulation which can have a lot of trash get into the ocean.
10. Some of the catch phrases are "Reduce and recycle," and "give a hoot, don't pollute."These information are used to remind what they can do to help." There are some new information, but not many since the last year.
