We offer you this guide to shed light on the question you are probably asking yourself: «What is the use of oceanography?».
By tracing the history of marine science, we explain how oceanographers have been able to put the oceans at the heart of their work and demonstrate the crucial role they play in the planetary balance.
Convinced that the prerequisite for any action is a better understanding of the issues by science, we hope that this guide to oceanography will help to crystalise on the issues and challenges posed by science. We hope that it will help lay the foundation for buil- ding a common and shared ocean culture.
The reason for the occurrence of such a huge mass of water on the globe, is still a myth and reality. The reason goes back to the Origin of Earth itself. The exact mode of origin is not precisely known. Scientists assume, both Primary and secondary sources would have given rise to all both air and water on the earth. Two possible sources as internal source (or) external source have been proposed so far. Some of them are attributed towards the theories of origin of the earth.
It describes about the formation of Islands,about the formation of coral reef. It describes about the ocean currents, their origin and all other concepts related to oceanography.
After attending this lesson, the learner should be able to comprehend about the geographic setting of the Pacific ocean, its dimension, associated water masses, morphological features of the ocean floor, very significant conditions of the ocean, sediments, marine life, marine pollution and other hazards. In addition the user should be able to understand, the importance of the Pacific in the context of global activities including the historical oceanographic explorations.
The Atlantic is relatively a narrow body of water. It exists between two parallel continental masses.
The Atlantic Ocean touches both the Europe and the Africa on its eastern side. It is bounded by North America and South America along its western region. The Atlantic has no definite northern or southern boundaries. It runs into the Arctic Ocean on the north, and the Antarctic Ocean on the south. Some geographers consider the Arctic Circle as its northern boundary, and the Antarctic Circle as its southern boundary. The ancient Romans named the Atlantic after the Atlas mountains. These mountains rose at the western end of the Mediterranean sea.

Alfred Wegener produced evidence in 1912 that the continents are in motion, but because he could not explain what forces could move them, geologists rejected his ideas. Almost 50 years later, Harry Hess confirmed Wegener’s ideas by using the evidence of seafloor spreading to explain what moved the continents.

Beyond the Blue Horizon: How Ancient Voyagers Settled
the Far Flung Island of the Pacific
By: Roff Smith
Much of the thrill of venturing to the far side of the world rests on the romance of difference. So
one feels a certain sympathy for Captain James Cook on the day in 1778 that he "discovered" Hawaii.
Then on his third expedition to the Pacific, the British navigator had explored scores of islands across the
breadth of the sea, from lush New Zealand to the lonely wastes of Easter Island. This latest voyage had
taken him thousands of miles north from the Society Islands to an archipelago so remote that even the
old Polynesians back on Tahiti knew nothing about it. Imagine Cook's surprise, then, when the natives of
Hawaii came paddling out in their canoes and greeted him in a familiar tongue, one he had heard on
virtually every mote of inhabited land he had visited. Marveling at the ubiquity of this Pacific language
and culture, he later wondered in his journal: "How shall we account for this Nation spreading it self so
far over this Vast ocean?"
That question, and others that flow from it, has tantalized inquiring minds for centuries: Who
were these amazing seafarers? Where did they come from, starting more than 3,000 years ago? And
how could a Neolithic people with simple canoes and no navigation gear manage to find, let alone
colonize, hundreds of far-flung island specks scattered across an ocean that spans nearly a third of the
globe?
Answers have been slow in coming. But now a startling archaeological find on the island of
Éfaté, in the Pacific nation of Vanuatu, has revealed an ancient seafaring people, the distant ancestors of
today's Polynesians, taking their first steps into the unknown. The discoveries there have also opened a
window into the shadowy world of those early voyagers.
At the same time, other pieces of this human puzzle are turning up in unlikely places. Climate data
gleaned from slow-growing corals around the Pacific and from sediments in alpine lakes in South
America may help explain how, more than a thousand years later, a second wave of seafarers beat their
way across the entire Pacific.
On a lonely sun-drenched knoll on Éfaté, about half an hour's drive east of Port-Vila, the old
colonial capital of Vanuatu, Matthew Spriggs is sitting on an upturned bucket, gently brushing away
crumbs of dirt from a richly decorated piece of pottery unearthed only a few minutes earlier. "I've never
seen anything like this," he says, admiring the intricate design. "Nobody has. This is unique."
That description fits much of what is coming out of the ground here. "What we have is a first- or second-
generation site containing the graves of some of the Pacific's first ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

As more global studies were being conducted a disturbing fact was reveled to scientists around the world. Scientists were beginning to see that the oceans were not limitless and infinite but that it was a living system that was in trouble.
