Oceanic Garbage Patches‚ Plastic Soup Research Paper Kenneth M. Litwak II City University of Seattle Abstract There are five garbage patches in the world’s oceans. Very few people even realize they exist and many of those who do think these are islands of floating debris. Garbage Patches are more like plastic soup and as such are far more difficult to identify and even more difficult to clean up. The real Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

ENERGY RESOURCES Energy is defined as ‘the capacity to do work’. Sun is the primary source of energy. Joule is the standard unit of energy in SI units. Energy utilization is an index of economic development‚ which does not take into account of ill effects/damage on to environment. From 1900 to 2000 population increased by 3 times while energy consumption by 14 times! Energy Resources All energy sources ultimately come from the sun‚ the moon or the earth.

Water has the ability to carry many pathogens and bacteria. Because of this‚ water is responsible for many deaths and illnesses. This fact was discovered a long time ago when many people fell sick‚ and after tests‚ it was realized this was because of the drinking water.

causes air pollution and why is it bad? Well‚ many things can cause air pollution‚ but most air pollution comes from motor vehicles like cars; burning wastes; industry and power plants; and heating buildings. Natural disasters‚ like forest fires and volcano eruptions‚ can cause air pollution‚ too. Whenever fossil fuels are burned‚ like when gasoline burns inside a car engine‚ pollutants like dust‚ soot‚ carbon dioxide‚ and sulfur oxide can fill up the surrounding air. Exposure to air pollution can bother
