Oceanography is the scientific study of the ocean and its components, including the physical, chemical, biological, and geological aspects of the ocean environment. This interdisciplinary field examines various oceanic phenomena, such as currents, waves, tides, marine life, and the ocean’s role in Earth’s climate system. Oceanographers utilize tools and methods from various disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and geology, to explore the ocean’s dynamics, its ecosystems, and interactions with the atmosphere and land. The insights gained from oceanography are crucial for understanding ocean health, climate change, and managing marine resources.
