Topics in Oceanography

        Like geography, oceanography is multi-disciplinary and incorporates a number of different sub¬categories or topics. Biological oceanography is one of these, and it studies the different species, their living patterns and interactions within the sea. For example, different ecosystems and their characteristics such as coral reefs versus kelp forests can be studied within this topic area.

        Chemical oceanography studies the different chemical elements present in seawater and how they interact with the Earth’s atmosphere. For example, nearly every element in the periodic table is found in the ocean. This is important because the world’s oceans serve as a reservoir for elements like carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus- each of which can impact the Earth’s atmosphere.

        Ocean/atmosphere interactions is another topic area in oceanography that studies the links between climate changes, global warming and concerns for the biosphere as a result. Mainly, the atmosphere and oceans are linked because of evaporation and precipitation. In addition, weather patterns like wind drive ocean currents and move around different species and pollution.

        Finally, geological oceanography studies the geology of the seafloor (such as ridges and trenches) and plate tectonics, while physical oceanography studies the ocean’s physical characteristics which include the temperature-salinity structure, mixing levels, waves, tides and currents.

Passage Three


A baseball/softball game is played by two teams who alternate between offense and defense. There are nine players on each side. The goal is to score more runs than the opponent, which is achieved by one circuit of four bases that are placed on the diamond.

The Equipment

         The defense wears baseball/softball gloves, a leather contraption that fits on the hand, to catch the ball. A baseball is a white ball roughly three inches in diameter with red stitching. A softball is roughly twice as big, sometimes yellow (but no softer).

        The offense uses a bat, which is made of wood in the professional ranks, and likely made of aluminum or a metal composite at amateur levels. Almost all softball bats are aluminum or metal. The Field

         The part of the field closest to the bases is called the infield, and the grassy farther reaches is called the outfield. The bases are 90 feet apart on the diamond, closer in children’s leagues and softball, other fields are variable, and the outfield fences or the amount of “foul territory” - the amount of ground that borders the field between the long white lines that connect first base to home plate and third base to home plate - varies from field to field. Defense: The Positions

         There’s a pitcher in the middle of the mound who initiates the action by throwing the ball toward home plate. The catcher catches the ball if it’s not hit. The infielders are the first baseman, second baseman, shortstop (between second and third base) and the third baseman. There are three outfielders: The left fielder, center fielder and right fielder. The Game

        There are nine innings in professional baseball games (sometimes fewer in lower levels), and each inning is divided in half to the top of the inning (when the visiting team hits and the home team plays defense) and the bottom of the inning (when the home team hits and the visiting team plays defense). Each team gets three outs in each half of the innings.

Passage Four


        The vast majority of Hindus engage in religious rituals ๐n a daily basis. Most Hindus observe religious rituals at home, but observations of rituals greatly vary among regions, villages, and individuals. Devout Hindus perform daily chores such as worshiping at dawn after bathing (usually at a family shrine, and typically includes lighting a lamp and offering foodstuffs before the images of deities), recitation from religious scripts, singing devotional hymns, meditation, chanting mantras, reciting scriptures etc. A notable feature in religious ritual is the division between purity and pollution. Religious acts presuppose some degree of impurity or defilement for the practitioner, which must be overcome or neutralised before or during ritual procedures. Purification, usually with water, is thus a typical feature of most religious action. Other characteristics include a belief in the efficacy of sacrifice and concept of merit, gained through the performance of charity or good works, that will accumulate over time and reduce sufferings in the next world. Vedic rites of fire-oblation (yajna) are now only occasional practices, although they are highly revered in theory. In Hindu wedding and burial ceremonies, however, the yajna and chanting of Vedic mantras are still the norm.

        Occasions like birth, marriage, and death involve what are often elaborate sets of religious customs. In Hinduism, life-cycle rituals include Annaproshan (a baby’s first intake of solid food), Uponayanam (“sacred thread ceremony” undergone by upper-caste children at their initiation into formal education) and Sraddha (ritual of treating people to a meal in return for prayers to ‘God’ to give peace to the soul of the deceased). For most people in India, the betrothal of the young couple and the exact date and time of the wedding are matters decided by the parents in consultation with astrologers. On death, cremation is considered obligatory for all except sanyasis, hijra. and children under five. Cremation is typically performed by wrapping the corpse in cloth and burning it on a pyre.
