ocean motion
Across
- 6. current a strong narrow current flowing outward from the beach through the surf zone
- 7. a tide after the third or quarters of the moon
- 10. the alternate rising and falling of the sea
- 12. the depth below the surface where wave motion becomes negligible
- 15. a spiral or vortex
- 16. a flow of water that moves beneath surface currents
- 17. the rate at which a wave propagates or travels through a medium
- 20. circulated air deflected from the right to the left
- 21. the distance between corresponding points of two consecutive waves
- 22. a moving swell of water
- 23. the distance over which wind blows in a consistent direction across the waters
Down
- 1. a tide after a new or full moon
- 2. rapidly moving underwater current that flows downslope
- 3. difference in water density by temperature
- 4. the fall and rise of the sea due to the moon
- 5. a heavy sea wave that breaks into foam on the shore
- 8. a current that flows parallel to the shore line
- 9. downward movement of fluid
- 11. liquid or gas kept in motion by force of gravity
- 13. movements seawater in upper layers of the ocean
- 14. vertical distance between the crest and the tough of a wave
- 18. surface water molecues Move by the force of the wind
- 19. a rising of seawater
- 22. the time it takes for a wave to complete a cycle
