While you may think the patches are solid masses of tangled plastic, they're actually dispersed across hundreds of miles of the Pacific. You could sail through the patches without even noticing you're in them. This is because as much as 70% of the trash eventually sinks to th...
(要点1) Garbage patches formed by plastic litter pose a huge threat to ocean animals. (要点 2) Washed Ashore Project is aimed to make people realize the problem of plastic pollution in oceans. (要点 3) Some sculptures made from plastic are displayed at the National Zoo, encouraging visitors...
Larger plastic objects, abundant near coastlines, often float into the world's five subtropical gyres - big regions of spinning currents in the North and South Pacific, North and South Atlantic and Indian Ocean. In the middle of these gyres, plastic trash has accumulated into huge "garbage pat...
Contrary to common belief, most of these trash islands are almost invisible to the eye. There are a few patches around the world where trash accumulates into platforms of 15-300 feet large, often nearcertain coasts, but they are minuscule compared to the vast garbage patches located in the m...
Guess how many giant patches of garbage there are in the ocean now? Kendra Pierre-Louis Environment Humans have created 9.1 billion tons of plastic. Here’s how you can help stop the madness. Sarah Fecht Environment This remote island in the South Pacific is covered in 18 tons of our...
There are five gyres in the ocean: one in the Indian Ocean, two in the Atlantic Ocean, and two in the Pacific Ocean. Garbage patches of varying sizes are located in each gyre. Due to winds and currents, garbage patches are constantly changing size and shape. The debris making up the ...
Since the garbage patches have been publicized, she’s received lots of calls from “people who want to mine the oceans” of plastics, adding that many of them have been “unfunded.” But she is optimistic that the right technology will be found. ...
clearly you dont know it but beside bug fixing, nearly all fractals had some mechanics changes/adjustments and some fractals had increased pacing to make them faster. just to name some, cliffside, snowblind, swampland were reworked. there were huge patches dedicated to fractals and here you write...
Vincent Callebaut Architectures has envisioned a radical underwater colony for "climate change refugees" 3D printed from recycled materials taken from the ocean's floating garbage patches. This particular proposal of "oceanscrapers" is sited off the shore of Rio de Janeiro. It's aim is to pro...
The increased waste in Earth’s oceans has been a growing problem. A great deal of plastic debris finds itself inmassive garbage patchesin the Pacific Ocean. Picking up the trash Marine debris is the huge threat to wildlife and possibly to human health. Scientists still don’t know what happ...
