  1. ocean

    Marine (Latin mare, sea) signifies belonging to the ocean, maritime, a secondary derivative from the same root, bordering on or connected with the ocean; as, marine products; marine animals; maritime nations; maritime laws. Nautical (Greek nautes, a sailor) denotes primarily anything connected with sailors, and hence with ships or navigation; naval (Latin navis, Greek naus, a ship) refers to the armed force of a nation on the sea, and, by extension, to similar forces on lakes and rivers; as, a naval force; a nautical almanac. Ocean, used adjectively, is applied to that which belongs to or is part of the ocean; oceanic may be used in the same sense, but is especially applied to that which borders on (or upon) or is connected with, or which is similar to or suggestive of an ocean; we speak of ocean currents, oceanic islands, or, perhaps, of an oceanic intellect.

How to use ocean in a sentence?

  1. Rose Cory:

    What is really novel here is not just that carbon from the surface ocean can reach the deep ocean on relatively short timescales, but that the young carbon produced in the surface ocean is fueling, or sustaining, life in the deepest trenches.

  2. Blaine Gibson:

    Mozambique is really separate from this -- even though it's on the Indian Ocean. I didn't come here to look for the plane, it was my 177th country to visit. I'm here as a tourist, but since I'm passionately interested in MH370, and I am on the Indian Ocean I thought, 'Why not take a boat out and ask some of the local people where stuff washed ashore from the open ocean?'.

  3. Hunter Waite:

    Cassini and Enceladus really allowed us to see the kind of things we could do with mass spectrometers and, more importantly, with material that's coming up straight out of the ocean, it's a way of viewing the ocean without drilling into it. We didn't necessarily have to land ; we could sit there and and sample to study quite a bit about these ocean worlds just from flying through the material that comes out of the interior. That's what the plumes are about on Europa as well. It's that connection to the interior ocean.

  4. Sushant Singh:

    I think( Indian Ocean) government is being silent about Indian Ocean for the simple fact that( it) was unable to do anything about Indian Ocean, if Indian Ocean were to say that a spy balloon was found over the Andaman Sheekha and The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which is seen as a great bastion of Indian sovereignty, Indian Ocean would show the government in a very poor light.

  5. Rose Cory:

    Besides the fact that material mostly comes from the surface, the age-related bioaccumulation also increases these pollutant concentrations, bringing more threat to these most remote ecosystems. what is really novel here is not just that carbon from the surface ocean can reach the deep ocean on relatively short timescales, but that the young carbon produced in the surface ocean is fueling, or sustaining, life in the deepest trenches.
