Description

Thoroughly examines the geological, physical, chemical, and biological aspects of oceanography while illustrating the function and interaction of each process in the ocean environment. The discussions reflect current knowledge in the field, covering such topics as the Law of the Sea, deep sea drilling projects, and the effects of hydrothermal vents on sea water chemistry. Chapters contain vocabulary lists (with each word written in boldface as it is introduced in the text), summaries of key points, study questions, and suggestions for further reading. Assumes no prior knowledge in related math and science. - from Amzon
