Mysterious Ocean = Physical Processes and Geological Evolution /
Harris, Peter Townsend.

Mysterious OceanPhysical Processes and Geological Evolution /[electronic resource] :by Peter Townsend Harris. - 1st ed. 2020. - VII, 199 p. 31 illus., 27 illus. in color.online resource.

Chapter1. The ocean begins -- Chapter2. Oceans created - oceans destroyed -- Chapter3. Where did continents come from? -- Chapter4. How deep is the ocean? -- Chapter5. The ocean in motion ! -- Chapter6. The lungs of the ocean -- Chapter7. Frozen ocean - ice ages and climate change -- Chapter8. The continental shelf -- Chapter9. The face of the deep -- Chapter10. An ocean of mysteries.

This book provides an introduction to ocean sciences that is engaging, evocative and accessible to non-experts interested in marine geoscience, while sparking readers' interest in important unsolved mysteries in marine science. The scope of the book is quite broad, but focuses on the physical ocean and its geological evolution, including the author's experiences working as an oceanographer over the last thirty years. Across ten chapters, the book traces the origins of the ocean from its formation 4 billion years ago, reviews the discoveries of the theory of plate tectonics, the ice ages and the great ocean conveyor, and discusses seafloor features (canyons, seamounts, trenches, abyssal plains, etc.), how they formed and their current environmental issues. The book concludes with a prognosis for the future ocean we might expect with global climate change and other human impacts. .
