Oceanography

In the future, I want to have a career in Oceanography. Oceanography is the study of the deep sea where glow in the dark fish and microorganisms thrive and shallow coastal oceans where beautiful Bottlenose Dolphin swim and chirp in crystal clear waters. Biology, chemistry, geology, and physics together as a whole are what make up oceanography. This career might change due to human impacts on the environment and lack of governmental funding; I still possess a strong desire to succeed in this particular

known that there was an option for me to be able to take online classes at my high school. Since I have already taken all of the science classes that are honors that were available, I needed to find another science class. I had found the honors oceanography class in the catalog online, and I instantly signed up for the course. I enrolled because of my interest for the ocean and it's inhabitants. Although I'd like to think that I know a lot about the ocean, I

Christopher Casey 9/17/14 Oceanography Lesson 17 In this essay, I’m going to talk about something that really fascinates me; Seafloor spreading. It is an interesting phenomenon to me because I am very interested in how the Earth behaves, and how it changes all of the time over its billions of years of existence. First of all, seafloor spreading is something that happens at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is conceived through volcanic activity. Tension from oceanic plates diverging

that I could take my curiosity of the ocean and explore it as a career. I am currently a sophomore at Stockton University studying oceanography and geology. I am particularly interested in tectonics and mid-ocean ridges. I think it is extremely important to study these ridge systems, as they

colleges offer oceanography as it is a very specific and requires many beginner classes to make it to oceanography. It is a course on the study on the ocean, animals in the plants in the ocean and other such things affected or affecting

Oceanography is defined as the study of the oceans through mapping, exploring, charting, and discovery and its birth is congruent with the birth of boats and voyages. Originally, sailors and explorers would go on expeditions for mercantile purposes. However, it evolved into mapping and exploring unknown sea routes. Oceanography is a science in the essence of studying the ocean in its entirety, which is more than mapping and knowing sea routes. Oceanography contributes to the scientific community

For the past couple weeks, we have focused on the topography of the ocean floor in our Oceanography class. To end this unit, we did a project of the ocean floor, involving coloring our own map of the Pacific seafloor and reflecting on this past unit. As tedious as the map portion of the project had been, I found it to be the most effective teaching tool of the whole unit. The detailed notes and labs had still been enough to teach and understand the topography of the ocean floor, the actual color-coding

Oceanography is and always will be my life. I spent most of middle school through college with one goal in mind, and that was to study and explore the ocean. A little more than half way through college I started thinking about what exactly I would be doing after I graduated. I hadn’t quite figured it out at the time. Eventually I started to think that I would just go to grad school and specialize in Chemical Oceanography or something. Senior year came and went and I started to pay more attention

CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1. The term given to the study of oceans and seas is called oceanography or oceanology. As an organized science, oceanography is comparatively new, but men have been familiar with the seas from time immemorial. The earliest human settlements were on the banks of large rivers. The Tigris, the Euphrates, the Nile and the Indus were witnesses to early human civilizations. The people living on the river banks soon discovered the immense expanse of the oceans, for all the streams
