Marine Biology
• Study of all living things in the ocean
• Involves chemistry, earth science , physics and biology
![Page 4: Big Idea](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/568134f7550346895d9c403e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Chemistry of Ocean Water
• Amount of dissolved materials-gases, salts, nutrients
• Novel compounds made by marine organisms- many marine animals cope with their world chemically
• Marine pollution and climate change -How atmosphere’s CO2 increases ocean acidity
• Chemical cycles-How materials are cycled through the oceans
![Page 5: Big Idea](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/568134f7550346895d9c403e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Earth Science
• Plate tectonics– Volcanoes, earthquakes, sea floor
spreading, subduction zones all affect the shape of the ocean basins
• Coastal processes– Waves and wind, storms all change the
shape of our coastlines

Physics
• Motion in the ocean-currents, waves, tides– Move heat energy and materials around
the ocean basins
• Interaction between the ocean surface and atmosphere– Climate control, water cycle and earth’s
energy budget

Importance of the Oceans
• Source of food–16% of all animal protein consumed
worldwide comes from the oceans–We are catching fish faster than they
can reproduce–60-70% of fish types are in danger
![Page 14: Big Idea](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/568134f7550346895d9c403e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

![Page 21: Big Idea](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/568134f7550346895d9c403e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Importance of the Oceans• Climate Control
– Cycles heat, water and CO2– Complex phenomena like El Nino and
the North Atlantic Oscillation are caused by the ocean atmosphere connection
• Atmospheric Connection– Gases are continuously moving between
ocean and atmosphere– Ocean phytoplankton account for 90%
of world oxygen production

– Egyptians- Hieroglyphic warnings not to eat puffer fish
– Early Greeks- Used electric sting ray for electric shock therapy
– Aristotle- first marine biologist ie- first written observations of marine life

European exploration from the Renaissance on was for trade and then
curiosity • Mid 17th to 18th century
– James Cook• Used a chronometer (and accurate
timepiece)and knowledge of latitude and longitude to make accurate maps
• Mapped out many islands in the South Pacific
– Benjamin Franklin• Mapped out the Gulf Stream current in the
Atlantic Ocean using observations from merchant ships
