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