本题详细解析:
Statements II and III are correct and describe some of the many effects of plastic pollution in the ocean. Statement I partially describes what happens to plastics when they are dumped in the ocean. They do become small pieces, but do not disappear. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is not biodegradable and it is not visible because it consists of microplastics. It looks like a cloudy soup. In the ocean, the Sun breaks down the plastic, and this photodegradation process causes microplastics to form. Wind and water also break down the plastic waste in the ocean waters. Microplastics are now being tracked even on the ocean floor. They are extremely harmful to marine life.
