Question

what is the great pacific garbage patch? (1 point)
a place where plastic and other waste has collected in the pacific ocean
a place where people who live near the pacific ocean have collected plastic in one place
a place on the pacific coast with a large plastic recycling facility
a place on the pacific coast where plastic waste from the ocean has collected on beaches

Explanation:

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is formed by ocean currents gathering plastic and other waste in the Pacific Ocean. It's not due to people near - by collecting (as it's mainly ocean - current driven), not a recycling facility, and not waste collected on beaches (it's in the ocean, not on the coast beaches).

Answer:

a place where plastic and other waste has collected in the Pacific Ocean
