Trigonometry is used in everyone’s daily life‚ especially in careers and activities. A career that uses trigonometry is oceanography. I chose an oceanographer because I love aquatic life‚ and I didn’t wasn’t exactly sure how trigonometry was associated with oceanography. Astronomy is another common activity that uses trigonometry. I chose astronomy because I am very interested in space‚ and how astronomy is also interconnected with trigonometry. Oceanographers use trigonometry every day at work

considered to be the father of marine biology and was the first to record observations of marine life. Years later‚ Sir Charles Wyville Thomson went on a three year voyage and returned with 30‚000 pages of observations; he later created the field of oceanography. He also discovered 4‚717 new species on his journey. This long history of development has created the successful field of marine biology which is a major function in life today. Although marine biology is an important career‚ the actual job

The ocean has captivated mankind since the beginning of time. The Challenger Expedition‚ the first modern oceanography expedition‚ only began in 1872(“History of Oceanography”). Why was it that we ignored ocean research for so long? We have only “dipped our toes in the water” (Cousteau 194) and many people are afraid of taking a dive. However‚ ocean exploration is most certainly worth the risks‚ as the benefits of ocean research far outweigh the risks. Just two benefits of ocean research include

Many different sciences are used to learn about the earth‚ however‚ the four basic areas of Earth science study are: geology‚ meteorology‚ oceanography and astronomy. Geology - The primary Earth science. The word means "study of the Earth". Geology deals with the composition of Earth materials‚ Earth structures‚ and Earth processes. It is also concerned with the organisms of the planet and how

Being a marine biologist means that you are a disciplines in variety work areas such as biological oceanography‚ cellular biology‚ chemistry‚ astronomy‚ ecology‚ geology‚ meteorology‚ molecular biology‚ physical oceanography and zoology. However‚ many people who are familiar with the term marine biology only associate the term mostly with the dealing of physical properties of the sea and study of marine life‚ although many biologists study both. So when ask‚ what do marine biologists study‚ the answer

Marine biology is more than the scientific study of marine life. Marine biology is the study of marine organisms‚ their behaviors‚ and interactions with the environment. Marine biologists study oceanography and the associated fields of chemical‚ physical‚ and geological oceanography. Marine biologists are also able to specialize in large aquatic animals‚ all the way down to microscopic and minuscule organisms. Anything else in between‚ marine biologists are able to study. Marine biology is known

Earth Science is the name for all science that collectively seeks to understand the Earth and its neighbors in space. Some Earth scientists use their knowledge of the Earth to locate and develop energy and mineral resources. Others also study the impact of human activity on Earth’s environment and design methods to protect the planet. Some also use their

Marine biologists study biological oceanography and the associated fields of chemical‚ physical‚ and geological oceanography to understand sea organisms. Marine biologists can tell you the difference between any fish. They can also tell you what fish would be an ideal pet for your family. They can tell you where they are from‚ what
