the deep oceans and the shallow coastal oceans. Biology‚ chemistry‚ geology and physics together make oceanography a richly interdisciplinary science. With recent cultural emphasis being placed upon ecological and conservational concerns such as global warming and ecological development‚ oceanography studies are growing in importance and relevance. As an example of this‚ one might take a brief look at one particular topic of inquiry in oceanography‚ the study of ocean basins‚ and its

Plate Tectonics Ever since the beginning on time‚ Humans believed the ground is solid and immobile. But this is not true whatsoever. The Earth is every-changing and continually in motion. The stability of the Earth is not at all what we think it is. Thinking about the rotational axis of the Earth‚ and possibly of what the Earth may become at a certain point in time‚ has a great influence on understanding all aspects of living things‚ either in the past‚ present‚ or future. The study of Plate

vessel from the Shang Dynasty‚ then I realized it looks a lot more like Archer Jing’s ritual bronze than any vessels we looked at. And sure enough‚ it was a ritual bronze with inscriptions from the Zhou Dynasty. So it was actually a ritual water basin called jian from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty made from bronze. I thought it was a good size with maybe two feet or more in diameter and maybe a foot and a half to two feet in height. The outside was very decorative all around and there were four handles

Characterization of Sedimentary Basins-Trinidad’s Southern Basin Trinidad’s southern Basin is a topographically low area between the Central Range Uplift and the southern Range Uplift. It forms an eastern part of the eastern Venezuelan Basin‚ which is positioned east of Venezuela and the Orinoco Delta. The basin is structurally deformed as a result of compressional tectonics. The tectonics are attributed to a triple boundary created from the interplay of the southern American‚ Caribbean and Atlantic
