ocean motion
Across
- 2. a current resulting from a difference in density between waters
- 3. vertical distance between a waves crest and trough
- 7. a narrow fast current
- 9. currents set in motion by winds
- 10. density current flowing on the ocean floor
- 11. a breaking wave
- 13. the time between one wave crest and the next
- 15. the horizontal distance between two waves
- 18. an ocean current that flows parallel to the shore
- 19. when the sun and moon's gravity work together
- 21. upward movement of abyssal waters
- 22. when a moving object changes direction due to Earth's rotation
Down
- 1. any current in deeper water not caused by surface winds
- 3. the speed of a wave crest in the direction it is moving
- 4. tide created by the moon
- 5. downward movement of surface water
- 6. a fast subsurface density current
- 8. when the sun and moon's gravity work against each other
- 12. deepest depth of the ocean that is affected by waves passage
- 14. when the coriolis effect causes a change in direction of currents
- 16. a large circling ocean current
- 17. the distance the wind blows in one direction when forming waves
- 20. daily or twice daily changes in local sea level
