Marine Science Module 01: OceanExploration Exam Questions and
Answers
What are the four types of marine scientists? - Answer -There are many types of marine
scientists but the main four are:
Biology
Chemistry
Geology
Physical
What do marine scientists do?
Biologist - Answer -Studying the ecosystem and how it has developed, needs to
develop; how organisms relate
What do marine scientists do?
Chemist - Answer -Which study the impacts of the pressure, atmosphere, salt count,
and other things on the ecosystem.
What do marine scientists do?
Geologist - Answer -Study many processes that have to do with the ocean floor, and
how it has developed. (Rifts, Plate Tectonics, etc)
What do marine scientists do?
physicist - Answer -They study the interaction of the ocean with land, like waves,
currents and tides.
Is it science or not? - Answer -Yes, it actively uses the scientific method to make better
decisions in the ecosystem, and uses such to take data, record information, and actively
go about
fixing issues.
How do scientists investigate a problem in the ocean? - Answer -Observe the health of
the ecosystem, find out what issues need to be addressed or changed, and then take
action by using the scientific method to come up
with ideas on how to fix these issues.
, What is the best solution to marine science problem? - Answer -The best way is to
make multiple trials using different methods until you find the one that damages things
the least, but still solves your problem
efficiently.
How can an incorrect hypothesis still strengthen our understanding? - Answer -Because
once the research is done and tested, the hypothesis can be checked to see what was
wrong with it, and either way still gives you information.

science but it it has no scientific basis
What does "biodiverse" mean? - Answer -Having many different species
Four types of marine scientists: - Answer -Biological oceanographers, Geological

Science is: - Answer -the inquiry-based effort to describe and explain nature
Science is not: - Answer -based on belief or stories
Example of a problem in a marine ecosystem: - Answer -Crown of thorn starfish are
killing the coral
The scientific method: - Answer -1.) Make observations and pose a question
2.) Hypothesis
3.) Experiment
4.) Analyze results
5.) Share with the community
Scientfic knowledge is revised when: - Answer -New problems and solutions are
present
How do chemical, physical, geological, and biological factors influence an aquatic
ecosystem? - Answer -Each impact an aquatic ecosystem in different ways, chemical
affecting what types of wildlife can live in each part, as some animals need a different
salt per part ratio than others, geological need different areas of differing temperatures
in order to live, physical could be rough waves, and biological would just be how the
ecosystem is built in general.
