Please give at least 8 difference between Marine biology and Oceanography.
Answers
Explanation:
The difference between both fields is pretty clear. Marine biologists study things that live in the ocean. The bio in marine biology means “life.” Of course, the suffix -ology means “study of” and marine means “aquatic,” which is a broad term that means “all water systems like freshwater, brackish water and marine.” That gives you “the study of aquatic life.”
On the other hand, oceanographers study the physical elements of the ocean itself. That means tides, rock formations, salt content and geography. That’s pretty much what it boils down to, but the nuances are what make it interesting.
One of these is not better than the other. They’re both different and what you’re drawn to will depend on what you want to actually do. In many ways these fields complement, and at times, overlap with each other.
If you’re choosing between these two fields, it may be best to first determine if the school you’re planning on attending or you’re looking into offers majors in both. If both are offered, you may be able to take introductory courses in each field of study to determine which field is a better fit for your interests.
Another consideration is whether you have a preference for a certain field of science. This may seem obvious, but if biology isn’t one of your main scientific interests, marine biology is probably not the right field for you. However, if you have significantly more interest in biology than chemistry, geology or mathematics, you may want to consider marine biology instead of oceanography.
At the end of the day, either field makes tremendous contributions to our world, and you can never go wrong by studying and working in something that you love and are passionate about.
