Part of Earth's beauty comes from its oceans. Ocean
scientists study the chemical make-up of the ocean, weather patterns
(模式),the geography of the ocean floor, and many other areas. Their
work is exciting,although sometimes dangerous. Using technology to do
certain tasks helps. For example, robotic arms are used for very

work. Wind is the great maker of waves. The waves we know are mostly
produced by winds blowing over the sea. They are directly connected
with the wind speed and the time that wind lasts.
Sometimes ocean life can be seen in the wave. Living things seem
to be staying within the wave, moving slowly inside it as if they were
weightless. Besides the beauty of waves, scientists are interested in their
technical ways. The diagram(示意图) of waves
shows how scientists examine waves. Waves are
measured(测量) from the top (crest) to the
bottom (trough). This allows scientists to find out the height of a wave.
They also measure waves from crest to crest to find out the length of a
wave.
During serious storms, huge waves might cut a sea ship apart. By
understanding the oceans, scientists can prevent this breakup of ships by
predicting(预测) when the water will be too dangerous. The study of
waves and the oceans also allows scientists to make sure how certain
beaches were formed. By studying the oceans, a great deal can be
learned about the surface we live on.#1.4
