Course content

Introduction to Oceanography - Exploring the Oceans - The history , hypotheses , theories, origins of life in the oceans - oxygen , evolutionary development - Plate tectonics and ocean floor - the movement of continents , Earth structure , interface board , division of the seabed - geomorphology (continental margins , deep pan , mid-ocean ridge) - Marine sediments - lithogenic , biogenic and chemogenic sediments. Oceanic sediments as a source of raw materials - oil, gas, sand, gravel, evaporit salt - Chemical and physical properties of water - water molecule, the thermal properties of water, the density of the water cycle - Tidal phenomena such as tides, the relationship of the atmosphere and the sea - the Coriolis force, atmospheric circulation cells, the greenhouse effect - Marine flow - surface, output and descending currents, thermohaline circulation. Waves and water movement - the properties of waves, tsunami, energy from waves - Coast - beaches, creating shores, coastal waters - lagoons, estuaries, mangrove, coastal water pollution - DDT, PCB. - The marine environment - Classification of marine organisms, the adaptation of organisms, biological production of seas. - Anthropogenic influence the Seas - negative, positive. - Protection of marine biodiversity in international law.
