Depositional coastlines commonly contain rock formations called headlands.

The Calcite Compensation Depth is the depth below which calcite is no longer a significant component in ocean sediments because at those pressures and temperatures, calcite is no longer stable.

Hydrothermal Vents consist of "Warm Water Vents", "White Smokers", and "Black Smokers".

Invasive species are not considered a form of pollution

An organism with the same body salinity as the open ocean is hypertonic.

Organisms that live on the coast generally tolerate changes in salinity, and thus are known as stenohaline organisms.

An environmental assay is a measure of the concentration of a pollutant.

Ocean water preferentially absorbs blue colors causing the ocean water to appear blue.

Two processes contribute to Primary Productivity: photosynthesis and oblatosynthesis.

Seed-bearing organisms of the phylum Anthophyta are the only marine plants from Kingdom Plantae.
