Entire houses, bodies, car parts, tractors and many upturned boats have amassed off the east coast of Japan on an epic scale.
The floating objects have been declared a maritime hazard by the American Navy, which warned they could pierce the body of a boat, or destroy engines in the Pacific's shipping lanes.
The island of debris of most concern, 110 kilometers long, is being closely monitored by the US Navy's seventh fleet, as experts predict it could hit Hawaii's shores in two years and the American west coast a year later.
Hawaiian scientists put it bluntly. They warned that a vast mass that originated in a few moments of destruction in Japan, could eventually foul beaches and reefs off the Eastern North Pacific and kill marine life.
The American Navy's working with civilian construction companies from the earthquake-hit country, as huge cranes and boats are deployed to clear the seas of this vast bobbing mass of wreckage of household furniture, wood, tires, fishing equipment and other garbage, sweeping eastwards.

3. Reading long pieces of text, for example a story or an article, in order to gain a general understanding of what is read. This type of reading is intended mainly to develop good reading habits.
4. Reading a text to examine language, generally at a slower speed. This kind of reading requires a higher degree of understanding than the previous type of reading.
