Ocean Two

Ocean Two is a earth science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Ocean Two rather than just read about it. In short: Ocean Two (sometimes called O2) is a residential skyscraper in the Costa del Este district of Panama City, Panama. Construction of the 73-story, 245.7 m (806 ft) building began in 2006 and was completed in 2010.

Key takeaways

  • Ocean Two belongs to earth science; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Ocean Two to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Ocean Two from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Ocean Two (sometimes called O2) is a residential skyscraper in the Costa del Este district of Panama City, Panama. Construction of the 73-story, 245.7 m (806 ft) building began in 2006 and was completed in 2010. At the time of its completion, it became the tallest building in Panama and Latin America. It was then surpassed by The Point in 2011. Construction was led by architects Pinzón Lozano & Asociados. The facade matches the smaller building Ocean One, standing 207 m (679 ft).

Notable residents Víctor Vergara Muñoz, the son of Franklin Vergara (Panama's health minister from 2009 to 2012)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ocean Two

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ocean Two claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ocean Two before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ocean Two ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ocean Two

In research
Ocean Two appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Ocean Two in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Ocean Two is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2010 establishments in Panama, Buildings and structures completed in 2010, Residential buildings completed in 2010, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Ocean Two outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ocean Two in simple terms?

Ocean Two (sometimes called O2) is a residential skyscraper in the Costa del Este district of Panama City, Panama. Construction of the 73-story, 245.7 m (806 ft) building began in 2006 and was completed in 2010.

Why does Ocean Two matter?

Because it connects several earth science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Ocean Two?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
