Top Oceanography Flashcards

Oceanography is one of the most fascinating and exciting sciences because it deals with a subject that is still very little known about. In fact, oceanographers have estimated that we only know around 5% of the world's oceans, so it truly is one of the last frontiers waiting to be discovered.
 
Would you like to be the person that creates a better understanding of the world's oceans, by becoming an oceanographer yourself? Get off to a perfect start, by reading our oceanography flashcards. You'll not only learn the names of the seven oceans of the world, but also their relative sizes. You'll be able to talk about the early fathers of marine science such as Benjamin Franklin and Juan Ponce de Leon, and much more.
