Week 1 Discussion Oceanography For more course
tutorials visit
www.tutorialrank.com
In Week One we assess the Introduction and
Overview of Oceanography. This begins by
exploring the Earths physical properties and
its chemical composition. In addition, we discuss
the origin of life as it relates to
oceanography. Finally, we discuss the modern
tools and techniques used in oceanic
research. Consider the reading and activities
that you have completed this week. If you could
explore any specific ocean, which would it be?
Why would you choose that particular ocean? Do
you believe oceanic research to be a worthwhile
endeavor? Why or why not? ........................

Activity Part One Ocean Exploration (UOP
Course) For more course tutorials visit
www.tutorialrank.com
Navigate to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) site at http//oceanservice
.noaa.gov/ Select Explore from the menu, then
select Ocean Exploration listed below Oceans.
Choose an explorative mission that took place at
a marine sanctuary or an ecological preserve.
This is the specific web site to use as a
launching point for further research.
http//oceanservice.noaa.gov/topics/oceans/oceanex
/ Review the chosen exploration and create a 10-
to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation with
following items. Online Campus students must
submit a 10- to 12-slide PowerPointpresentation
with presenter notes. Be sure to include the
following in your presentation. List the basic
categories of Earths chemical composition and
physical properties, with an emphasis on how
these factors relate to the ocean. Describe at
least one of the early research theories about
the origins of life on Earth. List the modern
tools of research used in your chosen ocean
exploration. List the goals and objectives of
the mission and how it relates to the National
Ocean Services overarching mission. List the
areas to be explored by the mission. What
challenges did the team encounter?

Explain how the data was collected and what
modern technologies were used. Explain whether
the explorative mission was it successful in its
findings. How can the information gathered from
the mission benefit the field of
oceanography? ....................................

In Week Two we assess Geological Oceanography.
This includes distinguishing the difference
between continental drift and plate tectonics.
We also identify divergent, convergent, and
transform boundary features. Consider the
reading and activities that you have completed
this week. In your opinion, how would the world
be different if not for continental drift?
Between divergent, convergent, and transform
boundary features, which would you say has the
most potential to do damage to us on the
surface? Why?
