the Council on International Education Exchange. Higher education institutions
were enjoined to send students on exchange programs to universities abroad

dominant language.
Educational scholars have proposed
definitions for the term global competence and postulates regarding the
required knowledge, skills, attitudes and experiences necessary to become
globally competent. Cross-cultural awareness and interaction, familiarity with
an environment, intercultural facility, effective two-way communication,
interconnectedness of people and systems, acceptance of the different cultural
values and attitudes are integral components of global competence.

The
most important source of sediment is earth and rock material carried to the sea
by rivers and streams; the same materials may also have been transported by
glaciers and winds. Other sources are volcanic ash and lava, shells and
skeletons of organisms, chemical precipitates formed in seawater, and particles
from outer space.
Water is a most unusual substance because it
exists on the surface of the earth in its three physical states: ice, water,
and water vapor. There are other substances that might exist in a solid and
liquid or gaseous state at temperature normally found at the earth’s surface,
but there are no other substances which occur in all three states.
Water is odorless, tasteless, and colorless.
It is the only substance known to exist in a natural state as a solid, liquid,
or gas on the surface of the earth. It is a universal solvent. Water does not
corrode, rust, burn, or separate into its components easily. It is chemically
indestructible. It can corrode almost any metal and erode the most solid rock.
A unique property of water is that it expands and floats on water when frozen
or in the solid state. Water has a freezing point of 0C. and a boiling point
of 100C. Water has the capacity for absorbing great quantities of heat with
relatively little increase in temperature. When distilled, water is a poor
conductor of electricity but when salt is added, it is a good conductor of
electricity.
Sunlight is the source of energy for
temperature change, evaporation, and currents for water movement through the
atmosphere. Sunlight controls the rate of Photosynthesis for all marine plants,
which are directly or indirectly the source of food for all marine animals.
Migrations, breeding, and other behaviors of marine animals are affected by
light.
Water, as the ocean or sea, is blue
because of the molecular scattering of the sunlight. Blue light, being of short
wavelength, is scattered more effectively than light of longer wavelengths.
Variations in color may be caused by particles suspended in the water, water
depth, cloud cover, temperature, and other variable factors. Heavy
concentrations of dissolved materials cause a yellowish hue, while algae will
cause the water to look green. Heavy populations of plant and animal materials
cause the water to look brown.
