Detailed explanation-1: -Physical oceanographers study the relationship between the ocean’s physical properties, atmosphere, seafloor and coast. They investigate ocean temperature, density, waves, tides, and currents.

Detailed explanation-2: -Traditionally, we discuss oceanography in terms of four separate but related branches: physical oceanography, chemical oceanography, biological oceanography and geological oceanography. Physical oceanography involves the study of the properties (temperature, density, etc.)

Detailed explanation-3: -Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion. However, water does not actually travel in waves. Waves transmit energy, not water, across the ocean and if not obstructed by anything, they have the potential to travel across an entire ocean basin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Three types of water waves may be distinguished: wind waves and swell, wind surges, and sea waves of seismic origin (tsunamis).

Detailed explanation-5: -Oceanography is the study of all aspects of the ocean. Oceanography covers a wide range of topics, from marine life and ecosystems to currents and waves, the movement of sediments, and seafloor geology.
