This debris includes easily visible large pieces of floating litter such as plastic bottles, along with vast quantities of easily-overlooked confetti-sized plastic particles suspended in the surface waters. The patch is estimated to be at least the size of Texas, with some estimates as great as the size of the continental United States. Several such patches exist in the various oceans across the globe. What is the most logical explanation for the existence of these patches? A) The rotation of the planet causes marine debris to be pulled toward the Equator, where most of these patches are found. B) There are several locations in the middle of the oceans where it is legal to dump wastes.
