Tracing the Journey of a Bottle in the Ocean

The video explores the journey of a bottle in the sea, using a 1992 experiment where 30,000 plastic ducks were accidentally released into the Pacific Ocean. It discusses how ocean currents, both surface and deep, affect the movement of objects in the sea. A laboratory demonstration shows how temperature and salinity differences create water circulation, similar to ocean currents. The complexity of these currents is highlighted, emphasizing the unpredictability of a bottle's journey across the ocean.
