Homework No.

2. Retype the question before you answer it, beginning with Textbook Chapter Number, Question Number, and Page Number. 

For example, see  Homework No. 1 for retyped question; you need only to "copy" and paste.

Your answer to the homework must be typewritten, 1-2 pages in length. In preparing your answer use proper English; no misspellings, reference citations must appear in the text of the answer.

3. Finally, provide references on its own separate page:

Provide at least two technical book references . Note: Your textbook or any other textbook on oceanography is not a valid technical book for answering   homework questions. Scientific journals and technical books are acceptable references.

Your references must be prepared  using the  following format which I call the "complete" reference format; it is used in many scientific journals or technical books.
