Two types of plastic in a plastic bottle; the bottle, and the cap (the cap floats in water, and the (cid:271)ottle si(cid:374)ks; the (cid:272)ap does(cid:374)"t get recycled either). Gyre one example is between us west coast and japan; process in a circular motion in oceans, kind of like a conveyer belt. Imbalance between equatorial energy surplus and polar deficits. Circulation : primary or worldwide, secondary high/low pressure systems, tertiary local winds and weather. Air pressure created by temperature and air density. Air molecules by their motion, size, and number. Normal sea level pressure 1013. 2 mb (milliars) or 101. 32 kpa: earth"s air pressure ra(cid:374)ge 980-1050 mb, mercury barometer, aneroid barometer.
