Question

**PLEASE HELP** In the lesson, you learned about a debris convergence zone, or “garbage patch,” that can form in the center of the Pacific Ocean. How is the formation of this patch related to ocean currents? Where else in the world’s oceans are garbage patches likely to form?

Answer 1

Garbage patches are more likely to form in the center of gyres, where there are currents pushing stuff toward the center but none flowing outward.
