Answer 1

Explanation:

Midway Island (Midway Atoll) is located in the far northern end of the Hawaiian archipelago.

All of the plastic trash at Midway is believed to have been carried there by ocean currents, from various parts of the world.

The albatross feeds by diving into the ocean and catching fish and squid with its hooked beak.

There are so many dead birds on Midway because they ingest plastic trash, mistaking it for food, and it fills up their stomachs, preventing them from getting proper nutrition.

Albatross adults bring an average of about 5 pounds (2.3 kilograms) of plastic to Midway every year to feed their chicks.

The red coke cap looks like a natural prey/food source of the albatross.

Microplastics are small plastic particles, less than 5 millimeters in size, that are the result of the breakdown of larger plastic products.

The two big problems with plastics are that they do not biodegrade and that they can harm wildlife when ingested or entangled.
