a place where people who live near the Pacific Ocean have collected plastic in one place

a place on the Pacific Coast where plastic waste from the ocean has collected on beaches

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

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

The correct answer is: a place where plastic and other waste has collected in the Pacific Ocean.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a massive collection of floating debris, primarily consisting of plastic, that has accumulated in the Pacific Ocean. It is located between California and Hawaii and is estimated to be twice the size of Texas. This waste is carried by ocean currents and is difficult to clean up due to its vast size and dispersed nature.
