The document discusses the physical properties of the ocean including temperature, salinity, density, and pressure. It describes how the ocean is stratified into three layers based on these properties: 1) the surface layer, 2) the thermocline/halocline/pycnocline, and 3) the deep ocean. The thermocline is the region where temperature changes rapidly with depth, usually between 50-500m, and separates the surface layer from the deep ocean. Similarly, the halocline is where salinity changes quickly and the pycnocline is the region of rapid density change.
After attending this module, the user would be able to understand the history behind oceanographic explorations, the stages of development of oceanic navigations, and the scholars who have contributed at various stages. It will also be possible to comprehend the current trends in the science of oceanography in terms of on-going expeditions, technological improvements and the involvement made by various countries.

The study of physical oceanography helps in understanding all these aspects in detail. Let us see most of these factors and processes in our future modules. Mathematical models of all these processes are also developed using these phenomena and mechanisms. The individual aspects of all the elements of physical oceanography are to be studied in detail.

Chemical Oceanography is fundamentally interdisciplinary. The chemistry of the ocean is closely tied to ocean circulation, climate, the plants and animals that live in the ocean, and the exchange of material with the atmosphere, cryosphere, continents, and mantle
A nutrient is a chemical that an organism needs to live and grow or a substance used in an organism's metabolism which must be taken in from its environment.
Marine protected area Marine protected areas (MPA) are protected areas of seas, oceans, estuaries or in the US, the Great Lakes .[2] These marine areas can come in many forms ranging from wildlife refuges to research facilities.[3] MPAs restrict human activity for a conservation purpose, typically to protect natural or cultural resources.[4] Such marine resources are protected by local, state, territorial, native, regional, national, or international authorities and differ substantially among and between nations. This variation includes different limitations on development, fishing practices, fishing seasons and catch limits, moorings and bans on removing or disrupting marine life. In some situations (such as with the Phoenix Islands Protected Area), MPAs also provide revenue for countries, potentially equal to the income that they would have if they were to grant companies permissions to fish.[5]
On 28 October 2016 in Hobart, Australia, the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources agreed to establish the first Antarctic and largest marine protected area in the world encompassing 1.55 million km2 (600,000 sq mi) in the Ross Sea.[6] Other large MPAs are in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans, in certain exclusive economic zones of Australia and overseas territories of France, the United Kingdom and the United States, with major (990,000 square kilometres (380,000 sq mi) or larger) new or expanded MPAs by these nations since 2012—such as Natural Park of the Coral Sea, Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area. When counted with MPAs of all sizes from many other countries, as of August 2016 there are more than 13,650 MPAs, encompassing 2.07% of the world's oceans, with half of that area – encompassing 1.03% of the world's oceans – receiving complete "no-take" designation.[7]

Waves are never ending dynamic surfaces created by the action of wind on ocean surfaces. Waves are undulations of the surface layers of bodies of sea waters. Large bodies of water are almost constantly in motion. Ocean surface are never calm and smooth.They are uneven, irregular, rough and restless. Sea waves are defined as undulations of seawater characterized by unique features. Waves are moving energy patterns. They travel along the interface between ocean and the atmosphere.

Biological oceanography is a major scientific discipline dealing with all aspects of marine life under different zones of the oceanic environments. The interest to study biology by humans started as early as fourth century BC when Aristotle described about 180 species of marine animals. The geographical knowledge of oceans got improved after several great sea expeditions conducted by the people from 15th to 16th centuries. Through Ocean explorations people conducted detailed underwater surveys and mapped the ocean floors with respect to their physical features, chemistry and biological conditions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

Physical properties of the ocean are-
Temperature:Temperature is the amount of heat in a given area.
Water temperature is one of the most important physical properties of
the marine environment as it exerts an influence on many physical,
chemical, geochemical, and biological events. Temperature controls
the rates at which chemical reactions and biological processes take
place.
Salinity: The total amount of solid material in grams contained in
one kilogram of sea water when all the carbonate has been converted
to oxide, the bromine and iodine replaced by chlorine, and all organic
matter completely oxidized is salinity.
Density: The density of any substance is defined as the mass per
unit volume. Thus, in the c.g.s. system, density isstated in grams per
cubic centimeter.
Sea water density is a function of temperature,salinity and pressure.
Pressure:Pressure is an expression of force exerted on a surface
per unit area.It is the most common factor for ocean water.
These are the special four physical factors for ocean water or ocean
environment.

Three layers exist in the ocean temperature-
1.The surface layer
2. Thermocline
3. The deep ocean
Thermocline: The layer of rapidly changing temperature called a
thermocline (thermo=heat, cline=slope). Temperature decreases
gradually below the permanent thermocline.
The thermocline usually a pycnocline.
Mainly between 50 m to 500 m.
Thermocline: Temperature

sudden change in temperature in vertical direction)
The vertical processes that affect the thermocline are :
1. Downward transfer of heat from the sea surface.
2. Upwelling or downwelling.

According to salinity there are three layer exist in the ocean:
1.The surface layer
2. Halocline
3. The deep ocean
Halocline: Layer of rapidly changing salinity with depth is called a
halocline (halo=salt,cline=slope). An area where salinity changes
rapidly with depth is called a halocline.
