MSCI 101 - University of South Carolina
... Marine science is inherently integrative, encompassing four main scientific subdisciplines: biological, chemical, geological, ad physical oceanography. Therefore, in order to understand the oceans and become a marine scientist, one must first know the fundamental concepts within each of these areas. ...

The Jet Stream and Ocean Currents
... The 50°-60° N/S region is where the polar jet is located with the subtropical jet located around 30°N. Temperature changes the greatest in these areas causing extreme differences in air pressure. As the difference in temperature between the two locations increase, the strength of the wind increases ...

The Ocean Floor
... This zone does not spread across the ocean floor but exists only in the deepest ocean trenches. Because no light reaches this part of the ocean, it is impossible for plants to thrive but there are still hardy creatures that call these depths home. ...
