Oceanography

ES.11 The student will investigate and understand that oceans are complex, interactive physical,
chemical, and biological systems and are subject to long- and short-term variations. Key concepts
include
a) Physical and chemical changes (tides, waves, currents, sea level and ice cap variations, upwelling, and salinity variations);
b) Importance of environmental and geologic implications;
c) Systems interactions (density differences, energy transfer, weather, and climate);
d) features of the sea floor (continental margins, trenches, mid-ocean ridges, and abyssal plains) as reflections of tectonic processes
