Question

This is for my Oceanography class.

Answer the following in as much detail as possibe of the artwork:

Does scientific knowledge of the ocean enhance or detract from your impression or appreciation of these works of art?

Briefly explain the science behind it. --TALK ABOUT THE TYPE OF WAVES, THE ORGANISMS IN IT, THE ROCKS/MOUNTAINS ON THE SIDE--I am looking for a scientific perspective.

Does your perspective about this work change?

I also need to talk about some scientific flaws in the art work. I have attached the art work to this.

Explanation / Answer

By seeing above image, we can conclude that the whole picture tells about different oceanographic processes, such as physical, geological and biological oceanography processes

First, we can see what physical processes in this image are the waves which are shallow water waves because the depth appears as low and wave heights also somewhat better in height (if the wave satisfies the condition "wavelength should be less than one twenty of depth ). The second property is transparency of the water is appears to very high which is useful for the photosynthesis process, nutrients, and freshwater discharge etc.,

Second, we can see what biological processes in this image are the different types of marine habitat and organisms (benthic as well as pelagic ), most probably marine animals which are a blue whale, red turtle, brightly colored clown fish, Coral reefs.

Third, we can see what geological processes in this image are the mountain like structures are generally basalt in nature. Most of these rocks are igneous and as well as metamorphic.

The flaw in this image might be the presence of waterfall on the mountain.
