End up?
Hello. I found a difficult sentence while studying.
-Artificial reefs can cause problems if poorly designed and mounted because insufficiently weighted materials such as car bodies, tires, old vessels, and concrete rubble which end up miles away from the reef site by strong windstorms can damage sedentary organisms of nearby natural reef sites.
In this sentence, I want to know the meaning of 'end up.'
Thanks.

Thanks. I learned that if there is 'ing' after end up, it means 'finally do something.'
Then when there is inly 'end up' without 'ing' it means 'finally be located?' like this sentence?
