Ocean Cleanup to deploy updated version of its plastic-catching barriers

The video tutorial discusses the new system OO designed to collect plastic waste more efficiently. It explains the role of a parachute in slowing down the cleanup system, allowing natural forces to direct plastic into the system. The plastic collecting screen has been repositioned to prevent damage to the floating barrier. Additionally, the cork line's floats will be enlarged to enhance buoyancy and prevent plastic from bypassing the collection system.

What is the primary function of the parachute in the new system?

• To collect more plastic

• To slow down the cleanup system

• To increase the system's size

• To speed up the cleanup process

Why was the plastic collecting screen moved forward?

• To increase the system's speed

• To reduce the system's cost

• To prevent fracturing of the floating barrier

• To make the system more visible

What is the new diameter of each float in the cork line?

• 32 centimeters

• 20 centimeters

• 25 centimeters

• 15 centimeters

How do the new floats help in the cleanup process?

• By making the system faster

• By increasing buoyancy

• By reducing the system's weight

• By collecting more plastic

What is the purpose of stacking the floats on one another?

• To make the system more stable

• To prevent plastic from floating to the middle

• To reduce the system's cost

• To increase the system's height
