Oceanography mind maps

What oceanography mind maps cover

These maps bring together ideas about the ocean in different ways. One introductory map covers chemical, biological, physical and geological oceanography, along with seafloor structure and water properties. Others focus on ocean sediments, the origins of the oceans and the layers of ocean crust.

Why is the sea salty looks at the chemical composition of seawater. Nutrients and the Ocean Conveyor covers ocean circulation, while Wave Generation includes terms such as wavelength, frequency and wave height.

Study with a map

Start with the introductory map if you want to see how several oceanography topics fit together. For a narrower topic, choose a map on seawater or waves and follow its branches, explaining the connections in your own words.

If you want to check what you remember, switch to a quiz on the Oceanography unit page. Flashcards can help you practice short definitions. Pick a map and follow the ideas that interest you.
