The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the oceans on Earth. It extends from the Arctic in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south, bounded by Asia and Australia in the west, and the Americas in the east.

A distinguishing future of the Pacific ocean is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch also known as the Pacific Trash Vortex, is a giant island completely made of plastic thrown into the ocean. The patch has been constantly growing due to the increasing water pollution and as for now

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is twice the size of France.

Unlike most other trash, plastic isn't biodegradable so it floats there forever. Sunlight degrades plastic, reducing it to smaller and smaller pieces. The plastic still never goes away it just becomes microscopic and may be eaten by tiny marine organisms.
