The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is best described as _______. 

a. a floating island of garbage in the Pacific ocean the size of Texas 
b. a garbage patch formed of clusters of plastic debris 
c. a patch of densely polluted water the size of Texas in the Pacific ocean 
d. the result of oceangoing ship pollution

Answer 2

It's true that these areas have a higher concentration of plastic than other parts of the ocean, much of the debris found in these areas are small bits of plastic that are suspended throughout the water column. A comparison I like to use is that the debris is more like flecks of pepper floating throughout a bowl of soup, rather than a skim of fat that accumulates on the surface.
