But the study shows that plastic is changing the landscape of the seafloor — even 10,000 metres below the waves.

He added, “We have two ROVs that are capable of operating on the seafloor and are operating on the seafloor right now.

Once trapped in the seafloor they no longer degrade, either due to a lack of erosion, oxygen or light.

That energy interacts with other incoming waves, producing a pressure signal that turns into seismic waves at the seafloor.
