Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tar remains behind when the volatile components evaporate. The wave action that is present then causes the tar to clump together into small balls. Some of this tar falls to the bottom while other tar gets taken up by organisms. Information can be found in the section Marine Pollutants May Be Natural or Human Generated.
