What advantage does SCUBA technology offer to scientists who study marine biology?
SCUBA (self contained underwater breathing apparatus) allows marine biologists to descend below the surface of the water to observe marine organisms in their natural environments. 12. List and briefly describe four things about the oceans that can be learned by using remote technology. Many things can be studied about the oceans using remote sensing technologies. These include measuring the temperature of the ocean surface, tracking ocean currents, determining the abundance and kinds of organisms present, monitoring human impacts on the oceans, tracking migrations of whales, fishes, and other organisms, and tracking oil spills. 13. What is the scientific method? The scientific method is a set of procedures by which scientists learn about the world. 14. What is at the heart of the scientific method?
