[quote:greatgurl09 1412140:MV8xNDQ4NjY3XzI0OTg3MjU1X0FFQzM1Qjg=] soo its true it sine exactly what it's called its actually like "a chunky soup" most of the garbage is plastic that breaks down very small and is translucent. However, if you were to get a nylon net and put it in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean in the specific spots the net will come out full of trash. 80% of this garbage comes from shore but some of it is also dumped from boats and the garbage you throw out. It is the worlds largest landfill. heres some links for pictures: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Q4F6WfFeAho/TTCpiQjU35I/AAAAAAAAADs/-QszNCM5INM/s1600/garbage-patch-1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://gph171-tingey.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-is-great-pacific-ocean-garbage.html&usg=__TDmRajH3V0KXnF6IjQi5qGNePyY=&h=318&w=584&sz=137&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=e7NUaKpP3mha_M:&tbnh=119&tbnw=218&ei=FiboTcXsINLAgQfcxKGNAQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dthe%2Bgreat%2Bpacific%2Band%2Batlantic%2Bgarbage%2Bpatch%255C%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-US:%257Breferrer:source%253F%257D%26rlz%3D1I7GGLR_en%26biw%3D1116%26bih%3D794%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=125&vpy=107&dur=143&hovh=166&hovw=304&tx=253&ty=106&page=1&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&biw=1116&bih=794 http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://raptureofthedeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/great-pacific-garbage-patch.jpg&imgrefurl=http://raptureofthedeep.org/index.php/2010/02/25/bb-now-an-atlantic-garbage-patch-discovered/&usg=__FWuaLWrQz3KYZf4OdjfY1FNrttA=&h=312&w=468&sz=72&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=VdEfrJ_lvGRo_M:&tbnh=149&tbnw=218&ei=FiboTcXsINLAgQfcxKGNAQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dthe%2Bgreat%2Bpacific%2Band%2Batlantic%2Bgarbage%2Bpatch%255C%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-US:%257Breferrer:source%253F%257D%26rlz%3D1I7GGLR_en%26biw%3D1116%26bih%3D794%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=438&page=1&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0&tx=95&ty=71&biw=1116&bih=794 [/quote]
