branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics‚ including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents‚ waves‚ and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge of the world ocean and understanding of processes within it:

before. Especially from second episode‚ David specially dived into the Deep Ocean where he called the abyss. Furthermore‚ David also shows us how these species can survive in harsh environment which he called “monster”. In every deep ocean‚ the pressure is very high about 100 times atmosphere that can squeeze a white whale lung to one percent of their volume. That is the very reason that human can’t dive to the deep ocean without technology. At this time David used his very latest submersible which

In this chapter‚ about photosynthesis‚ we vaguely learned about organisms that lived deep down in the ocean and they get their energy from earth. They make their own food‚ which makes them autotrophs‚ though they do this without the help of light (light independent process). Being fascinated about this process I did some research and tried to find out more about how they were discovered and what kind of environment they lived in; so I found a ted talk on this topic. In this Ted talk‚ Mike deGruy

Statement of purpose Discovering The Great Blue As a young girl I found I was always very curious. Almost everything interested me whether it was the world around me‚ or my mother cooking‚ or reading. However I found that the ocean interested me quite a bit. Not just the ocean but every it contains‚ such as the way the waves move‚ the animals that inhabit it or the plants‚ perhaps I was so fascinated by it because of its size. I’ve found that the beach is my happy place. No matter how bad things get

language is also emotive as the poet is speaking about his personal feelings towards the ocean „ i never tire of the oceans quarelling“. The overall tone of the poem is melancholic and mysterious‚ especially as they are dealing with the ocean and its beauty. Content : This particular verse focuses on comparing the oceans quarelling to different things: the first few lines are example of what the quarelling ocean reminds him of such as : the colemans humming jet at the sea’s edge or a tuning fork for

The species I am writing about is the Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus).[] The Sperm Whale can be found in the ocean but lives from the surface of the water to about 3200m deep.[] This means that the Sperm Whale can go to and fro between the Epipelagic Zone (0m to 200m)‚ the Mesopelagic Zone (200m to 1000m)‚ and the Bathypelagic Zone (1000m to 4000m).[] In the Bathypelagic Zone the Sperm Whale must adapt to many extreme conditions. These extreme conditions are low temperature (4°C)‚ high pressure

watered by mist! Coastal Peru’s ocean affects day to day life. The ocean in Coastal Peru affects how crops grow and even how cold the climate is. The ocean has fish to catch and valleys have space to produce staple crops. Furthermore‚ the climate is cryogenic and arid (cold and dry) thanks to the mist produced by the ocean. The ocean of Coastal Peru is very helpful to the people that live there. The Humboldt current‚ also known as the Peru Current‚ is part of those oceans. “As it is a cold current‚ except

theory that life may be present in Europa has gained momentum. Despite the physical discrepancies‚ the oceans of Europa are very similar to our own oceans. How did scientists come to that conclusion? This is due to discoveries made by deep sea submersibles in the last 60 years. Researchers have found that life can exist that depend on a source of energy other than the sun. Here‚ deep in the oceans where the pressure is so great and there is no sunlight‚ life flourishes. Europa is frozen with an icy

land-dwelling life. In terms of aquatic life‚ researchers know very little of what is potentially in our earth’s waters. However‚ it is safe to say that it may be even more diverse and numerous than what lies above the surface of the oceans and lakes‚ considering oceans cover about 75% of the earth’s surface. Consequently‚ with all the life on earth‚ natural competition and selection takes place between everything to determine who and what lives and dies‚ including human beings. The problem is this;

Hawaiians that owned the surfboard rental shop did not just give anybody a board and said to go have fun. First my family had to take an instruction class. The instruction class was done on the warm sand‚ just feet from the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. This class lasted about a half hour‚ and about fifteen people were there‚ including my family of four. The instructor gave the class every single detail known about surfing‚ at
