Oceanography is the exploration and study of the ocean, covering everything from marine life and ecosystems to ocean currents and plate tectonics. Its purpose is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's oceans, climate, and coastal areas. This field is crucial because our oceans are vital to climate regulation, food supply, and biodiversity; knowing them better helps us protect these resources for future generations.
