Detailed explanation-1: -Oceanography is the study of the physical, chemical, and biological features of the ocean, including the ocean’s ancient history, its current condition, and its future.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oceanography covers a wide range of topics, including marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the seafloor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean. Just as there are many specialties within the medical field, there are many disciplines within oceanography.

Detailed explanation-3: -It involves the study of marine organisms, their behaviors, and their interactions with the environment. Geological oceanography or Marine geology involves the study of geophysical, sedimentological, geochemical, and paleontological investigations of the ocean floor and coastal margins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Information on the currents of the Pacific Ocean was gathered by explorers of the late 18th century, including James Cook and Louis Antoine de Bougainville. James Rennell wrote the first scientific textbooks on oceanography, detailing the current flows of the Atlantic and Indian oceans.

Detailed explanation-5: -Measure currents, waves, tides, and other fluid movement. Use satellite data for data collection such as sea temperature, currents, wave heights and patterning, and wind speeds. Use computer instruments and sampling devices to analyze the populations and activities of marine organisms of all sizes.
