21. 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?

22. 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
