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.
1 A high school diploma with exceptional grades in chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics is essential. 2  Various reputed colleges offer graduate courses in biology, zoology, biometrics and others related to this field. 3  This is a minimum requirement for anyone hoping to form a career as a marine biologist.
