As with oceanic-continental convergence, when two oceanic plates converge, one is usually subducted under the other, and in the process a trench is formed. The Marianas Trench (paralleling the Mariana Islands), for example, marks where the fast-moving Pacific Plate converges against the slower moving Philippine Plate.
A bachelor's or master's degree is typically required for entry-level marine biology research jobs, such as those at private research organizations and biotechnology companies. Doctoral degrees are usually required for faculty positions and other jobs that allow you to follow your own research interests.
It is important for a marine biologist to acquire a minimum educational qualification in order to succeed. 1  A high school degree with excellent grades in mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry. 2  A Bachelorâs Degree in Biology, Zoology, Biometrics or any other related subject. 3  A Masterâs Degree in Marine Biology.
