HUGE DUMP FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

Images obtained by an underwater exploration robot at the seafloor of the Strait of Messina in Italy, have revealed the largest concentration of garbage ever recorded in deep waters anywhere in the world.  

The photos extracted from ROV video footage show examples of benthic litter accumulations observed within channels in the Messina Strait, including: bricks, tires, clothes and large metallic objects, small  and large mounds, sometimes formed around large items such as a buried car and a sunken boat.

Litter is patchy but pervasive on all surveyed channels, reaching densities up to 200 items in 10 meters of observation. Such impressive amount of litter can be explained by submarine canyons acting as carrier of marine litter from shallow water to the deep sea and a strong urbanization of the coastal area.

  1. We put commas between two helsetninger, which are bound together with conjunctions (og, eller, men, så).
    1. Det var kaldt, og ingen hadde lyst å gå ut.
    2. Det er tirsdag, så vi trenger å gå på butikken.
  2. A comma is placed between a leddsetning and a helsetning when the leddsetning comes first.
    1. Da vi var unge, spiste vi kaker. 
    2. Hvis jeg leser boken, er jeg ferdig med lekser. 
  3. We put a comma before men, even when it is not followed by a helsetning.
    1. Han er ung, men klok.
    2. Jeg var sliten, men fornøyd.
  4. We put commas before and after insets (innskud).
    1. Hunder er, sier hun, favoritten hennes. 
    2. Norsk er, synes jeg, et veldig fint språk.
  5. Commas are placed after tiltale, after replikker, and often after svarord. 
    1. Tiltale: Louise, gå hjem! Gratulerer med dagen, Elina.
    2. Replikker: Jeg var på butikken, svarte hun.
    3. Svarord: Har du spist? Ja, det har jeg.
  6. When listing, we set commas where we don’t have og (I guess they don’t use the oxford comma😢).
    1. Kan du kjøpe egg, melk, te og kaffe?

Corrections always welcome!
