"The Physical Geography of the Sea"

"The Physical Geography of the Sea" examines the natural features and processes shaping the ocean environment. It covers aspects such as ocean floors, currents, waves, and tides, explaining how they influence climate, marine life, and navigation. The ocean floor varies from deep trenches to shallow continental shelves, while currents distribute heat and nutrients worldwide. Waves and tides result from wind and gravitational interactions, affecting coastal areas. Understanding these physical features helps us appreciate how the sea impacts weather, ecosystems, and human activities, emphasizing the ocean’s vital role in Earth's overall system.
