2 min readfrom oceanography: things about the sea

I really need help with an oceanography assignment and i don’t know where else to go

i’m doing an exploring marine sediments with google maps assignment and its like i read the words but i genuinely don’t know what to do. it says to rotate the globe to explore the geographic and bathymetric distribution of each of the 5 sediment types we’re learning about (terrigenous, glaciomarine, calcareous ooze, siliceous ooze, and red abyssal clay and record my observations on them; alongside also proposing hypotheses about the lithologic distribution and other information i would want in order to test my hypotheses. HUH. theres like hundreds of these little small dots all over the globe for each one how am i supposed to do all that for each one????? i should probably say i don’t really know anything about oceanography, i accidentally chose this class super high thinking it was like marine biology (stupid i know) but now i’m just trying to not fail. please help me.

edit: well it took me literally 7 hours but i finished it and i’m actually pretty proud with my work! it probably would’ve been a lot easier if i knew this stuff beforehand but i actually learned a lot and i’m just really hoping i get a good grade..wish me luck:p
