Cold and warm sea-streams

Deep Ocean Currents: Deep ocean currents are driven by density and temperature gradients. Thermohaline circulation, also known as the ocean's conveyor belt, refers to the deep ocean density-driven ocean basin currents. The ocean becoming colder the farther down you swim.

Oceanography an interdisciplinary science

Major ocean currents of the world. On this illustration red arrows indicate warm currents, while cold currents are displayed in blue.

The term oceanography is defined as the field of the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the ocean. The study of oceanography includes vast oceans’ history, present situation, and its future conditions as well. This article consists of 10 best oceanography books (in no particular order) which will be of great use to the readers who are interested in this topic.

THE OCEAN, A CARBON SINK A carbon sink is a natural or artificial reservoir that absorbs and stores the atmosphere’s carbon with physical and biological mechanisms. Coal, oil, natural gases, methane hydrate and limestone are all examples of carbon sinks. After long processes and under certain conditions, these sinks have stored carbon for millennia. On

Marine and Environmental Sciences Marine and Environmental Sciences (MES) is a study of the complex relationships between humans and the land, oceans and atmosphere. The MES major integrates oceanography, chemistry, biology, physics, and math to provide a technical, multidisciplinary education closely aligned with the Coast Guard missions of fisheries law enforcement; environmental response management; search […]

Sound is critical for the survival of many marine animals because it is a primary means of communication, orientation and navigation, finding food, avoiding predators, and choosing mates. As such, human activities that produce sound underwater have the potential to negatively impact animals by reducing their ability to hear prey, predators, and each other.Explore a collection of NOAA lesson plans, webinars, web stories, videos and more to learn about noise in the ocean and NOAA’s efforts to…
