Description
This course offers a comprehensive look into the world’s oceans—covering physical, chemical, biological, and geological aspects. You’ll begin with the basics of ocean formation, plate tectonics beneath the sea floor, and the structure of ocean basins. Learn how ocean currents, tides, and waves are formed and how they regulate the Earth’s climate. Explore the composition of seawater and its role in supporting life. From coastal zones to the abyssal plains, students are guided through diverse ecosystems like coral reefs, kelp forests, and hydrothermal vents. Special attention is given to marine biodiversity, food webs, and how creatures have adapted to survive in extreme environments. The course addresses pressing modern issues including overfishing, coral bleaching, plastic pollution, and ocean acidification. You’ll also learn about cutting-edge marine technologies such as submersibles, satellite imaging, and underwater drones used in ocean exploration. Interactive components include building ocean current models, analyzing data from buoys, and virtual dives into the deep sea. Real-world case studies highlight ocean conservation efforts, international treaties, and the importance of sustainable ocean governance. By the end, you’ll understand why the ocean is not only essential for life but also one of our most precious and endangered ecosystems. Perfect for aspiring marine biologists, environmentalists, and anyone curious about the world beneath the waves.
