Ocean Motion
Across
- 3. unusually high solar tide
- 6. any current in deeper water that flows in directions
- 9. The deflection of the path of a moving
- 10. a large circling ocean current created by prevalent winds
- 11. change in sea level,controlled by gravitational pull
- 14. a small tide that occurs when the suns gravity over powers the moons gravity
- 15. the horizontal distance of a wave
- 17. a narrow fast current that sometimes forms as water is piling up on the beach
- 18. the distance the wind blows over the waters surface
- 19. a downward movement of surface water
- 20. the deepest depth below the ocean
- 21. a breaking wave
Down
- 1. time between one wave crest
- 2. a ocean current that flows parallel to the shore
- 4. a density current flowing along the deep ocean basin floor
- 5. the vertical distance of a wave
- 7. a upward movement of surface water
- 8. a flow of sea water on the surface
- 12. a tides mainly produced by moons gravity
- 13. a general a repeated ocean oscillation
- 15. speed of a wave crest
- 16. a current resulting from density
