Question

Oil spills are the only source of water pollutants in ocean water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Apart from oil spills, non-biodegradable wastes from land can also be a major cause of pollution in ocean water. The best example of that is the ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch’. This huge garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean is made of microparticles of waste that have come from North America, Japan and East Asian countries.
