Marine geology is an important branch of marine science. It is one of the three frontier subjects of modern geology. Marine geology studies the temporal and spatial rules on the development, variations, and distributions of the earth’s surface that was covered by seawater. Through the introduction on plate tectonics, continental margins, ocean structures, marine geological processes, seafloor mineral resources, and related referencing, the students are expected to acquire the basic research ability on marine geology. It is aimed to lay the solid basis for other marine science subjects as well, such as marine chemistry, marine biology, marine geophysical prospecting, marine geochemistry, and so on.
