The Ocean
Ocean Facts:• Covers 71% of the earth’s surface• Accounts for 97% of the water on earth
(rest in land ice, groundwater, lakes & rivers)
• Average depth = 3,796 meters (12,451 feet) (deepest = Mariana trench 11,022 m or 36,163 ft)
• Average temp = 3.9oC (only 39oF)

• Oceanography is the scientific study of the ocean by applying traditional sciences, such as physics, chemistry, geology, biology, and engineering, to all aspects of the ocean.
Oceanography: What Is It?
Subdisciplines of Oceanography
• Geological Oceanography- – Composition of ocean floor and the earth
• Physical oceanography- – Movement of water (waves, currents…)
• Chemical Oceanography- – Ocean’s dissolved solids and gases
• Marine biology (Biological Oceanography)- – marine organisms, the impact of human
activities on these organisms
