point in the Pacific War as it impacted substantially on Japan, America and Australia. As a consequence of this fight both powers got extreme harms. Despite the fact that Australia endured numerous dangers it was the first time Japan were exhausted, prompting a change of arrangements for their cooperation at the Battle of Midway which essentially affected the Pacific War. The background events leading to the Battle of the Coral Sea significantly invigorated the turning point in the Pacific War.…

The movement of the Pacific and North American plates cause the old sea floor to be replaced by the now wider North American plate. Also with the movement the continental plate was stretched as the Pacific plate pulled the continental plate to the northwest which again stretched it out. This movement of the plates against each other also created the San Andreas fault which will come up later. What caused the San Andreas fault to be created twenty million years ago was the Pacific plate and the…

I picked the Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch from all other options because I use products made of plastic daily and I wanted to learn something new. From the documentary title, I knew I would learn something new because I never heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and I did not know what to expect. One of the main ideas that I took away from the documentary was the fact that plastic is virtually impossible to destroy. In the documentary, it illustrated how the beaches…

The Pacific Northwest tree octopus (Octopus paxarbolis) can be found in the temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula on the west coast of North America. Their habitat lies on the Eastern side of the Olympic mountain range, adjacent to Hood Canal. These solitary cephalopods reach an average size (measured from arm-tip to mantle-tip,) of 30-33 cm. Unlike most other cephalopods, tree octopuses are amphibious, spending only their early life and the period of their mating season in their…

The film Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a documentary directed by Angela Sun and was released on April 22, 2014. This film dives into the desolate "island" known as the great pacific garbage patch which is actually not an island despite what people think. This "island" actually lies underneath the water's surface, which leads to it being unnoticed by the public. Plastic is the main cause of this issue and not only litters the oceans, but it is also harming the marine life.…

I always thought that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, commonly known as Garbage Island, was a huge, waterborne landfill—sort of like a massive hair clog in a big drain, spinning round and round. In reality, it's not so much an island of trash as a soupy area of litter, mostly in the form of tiny flecks of plastic, studded here and there with old fishing gear and children's toys. If you were to sail right through the Patch, the water itself probably wouldn't look too remarkable, unless you…

called, “Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” The movie is about plastic marine debris and how it affects wildlife. Sun heard from a friend about this giant island in the Pacific Ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Most people believe that the garbage patch is a very large, solid patch of garbage sitting in the Pacific Ocean. They do not know that the patch is a swirling vortex of plastic and garbage in the North Pacific Gyre. The North Pacific Gyre is 10 million square…

During the Pacific war from 1941-45, the Japanese were controlling many countries and gaining territory in the Pacific. By 1942-43, Japan was planning a full scale attack on mainland Australia. To do this, they had to take many positions that the Australians were occupying in Papua New Guinea in order to isolate Australia. The Kokoda and Milne Bay military campaigns were both very successful in protecting Australia from Japanese aggression as they prevented the Japanese from taking the Kokoda…
