science and oceanography. Earth science is a particular discipline of scientific inquiry which has been invaluable in constructing a coherent narrative of the geological history of the planet‚ as well as in understanding the nature and character of certain natural phenomena‚ such as weather and temperature effects. Oceanography addresses more specific concerns by studying the deep oceans and the shallow coastal oceans. Biology‚ chemistry‚ geology and physics together make oceanography a richly

Reflection Essay Oceanography Studies was fantastic and overall an amazing class. Through this course I realized the vast variety of topics researchers and oceanographers face when considering the vast territory it covers. Although my goal is to become a Pharmacist and my area of interests are other science courses‚ this class over exceeded my expectations. Oceanography is the scientific study of the ocean. I learned that Oceanography researchers are very dedicated to their mission. This field

Oceanography Chapter 11 Review Questions For coastal oceans where deep mixing does not occur‚ discuss the effect that offshore winds and fresh water runoff will have on salinity distribution. How will the winter and summer seasons affect the temperature distribution in the water column? -Coastal waters are those relatively shallow water areas that adjoin continents or island. Winter and Summer Seasons drastically affect climate and temperature distribution in the water column Describe

Oscar james Geology 130 Introduction to Oceanography M/W 10:35 AM End of the Line: Overfishing in Our World’s Oceans There is no doubt that the oceans are among our biggest resources for life on earth‚ but they are also our scapegoat for some of mankind’s biggest problems. Because the oceans cover the majority of our planet’s surface‚ we believe it to be this massive amount of endless means to food‚ life‚ and nutrients. Unfortunately‚ this is not the case. The oceans are slowly diminishing away

Ashley Southall GOL - 111 – Lecture 10/22/2014 Writing Assignment Ponar In my experience of an oceanography cruise‚ there was so much to see and learn all at once. Collecting data‚ recording data‚ and actively participating in using various objects to collect the data was very interesting. Nikon bottle‚ Refractometer‚ Secchi Disk‚ Plankton and Otter-Trawl‚ to name a view‚ were the various instruments we used to collect the data we need as the science crew. In analyzing the various aspect of the

Last Tuesday‚ we took a trip to Huntington Beach and observed the ocean‚ sand‚ waves‚ tides‚ life on shore‚ wind‚ currents‚ sea bedding‚ sediments‚ and the fully developed sea. It was around 4 PM when we arrived at the beach‚ and it was about 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The coastline of the shore is a curve that faces southwest. Winds are disturbing forces that move the waves‚ and they generate every time there is a density boundary. The cool winds were coming very strong from the West at 251° that it

1. Explain why atmospheric pressure always decreases with increasing altitude. Because the higher you get the more room there is between molecules‚ which means less weight from above. Basically the air gets thinner the higher you get‚ so there is less pressure. 2. Why is the decrease of air pressure with increasing altitude more rapid when the air is cold? Cold air is associated with low pressure. So the inherently low-pressure air loses pressure more rapidly as the altitude increases. Air pressure
