Branches of Oceanography
Biological Diversity of life in the ocean and the ocean’s role as a habitat
Geological Geology of the ocean Composition of marine sediments and rocks Undersea volcanoes and earthquakes Seabed movement
Chemical The chemistry of seawater Rates and effects of chemical reactions Changes brought on by people (pollution, red tide?) and nature (bioluminescence)
Physical The study of physics within the ocean Water movement (waves, tides and currents) How sound and light travel through water How the oceans influence weather and climate
