Emergence definition

Hydrography emerges as the systematic study and mapping of the physical properties and features of the ocean, built upon the understanding of the ocean as a vast body of liquid with dynamic changes, and the concept of system, where particles interact with energy and exhibit patterns that govern its transformations, and motion, which is a change in position or state of an object over time, involving energy and space.
