    SAMANTHA L. POLICARPIO
    Hydrology is the science of water on and below the Earth's surface. It includes surface water and groundwater hydrology. Oceanography is the study of the entire ocean, including physical, chemical, biological, geological, meteorological, and applied aspects. The hydrosphere includes all water on, above, and within the Earth, including oceans, seas, ice, snow, groundwater, and atmospheric water. It represents the water shell between the atmosphere and lithosphere.

    Definition of Hydrology, Oceanography and Hydrosphere


    By: SAMANTHA L. POLICARPIO
    HYDROLOGY

    It is the science of occurrence, movement and


    distribution of water above/below the land surface or
    in the atmosphere.
    surface water hydrology
    ground water hydrology
    SCOPE OF HYDROLOGY
     Knowing the sources of water in an area
     Knowing the quality and quantity of water in an area
     Development and management of water resources for irrigation,
    water supply, flood control, water logging and salinity control
     The maximum probable flood that may occur at a given site and its
    frequency
    NOTE: this is required for the safe design of drains and culverts, dams and reservoirs,
    channels and other flood control structures.
    OCEANOGRAPHY
     It is also called oceanology or marine science

     It is an interdisciplinary science that involves the


    study of the entire ocean.
    BRANCHES OF OCEANOGRAPHY
    1. Physical oceanography, or marine physics attributes
    including temperature, salinity structure, mixing, waves,
    internal waves, surface tides, internal tides, and currents.

    2. Chemical oceanography, or marine chemistry, is the study


    of the chemistry of the ocean and its chemical interaction
    with the atmosphere;
    BRANCHES OF OCEANOGRAPHY
    3. Biological oceanography, or marine biology, is the
    study of the plants, animals and microbes of the
    oceans and their ecological interaction with the ocean;
    4. Geological oceanography, or marine geology, is the
    study of the geology of the ocean floor including plate
    tectonics and paleoceanography;
    BRANCHES OF OCEANOGRAPHY

    5. Meteorological oceanography, the study of the


    interactions of the atmosphere and the ocean in
    the hydrosphere.
    6. Applied oceanography, it is concerned with the
    application of the oceanographic knowledge to
    practical problems.
    HYDROSPHERE
     is a discontinuous water shell of the Earth between
    atmosphere and solid Earth crust (lithosphere),
    including oceans, seas and water surface on the
    land.
    HYDROSPHERE
     Its composition includes subsurface waters, ice, and snow of Arctic
    and Antarctic as well as atmospheric water and water contained in
    living organisms.
     The major part of the Earth water concentrates in seas and oceans,
    the second in volume is ground water, the third is ice and snow of
    Arctic and Antarctic. Surface water, atmospheric and bio-related
    water amounts some percent of the whole volume of the
    hydrosphere water.
