Ocean Motion
Across
- 2. Pulls on ocean water to create tides
- 3. Occurs when the Earth,Moon,and Sun are at the right angles and the tidal range is the lowest
- 4. Measures tides
- 5. Caused by wind and affected by landforms
- 7. Celestial body that creates neap and spring tides along with the moon
- 10. Rise to the surface and bring nutrient rich water
- 14. Affects some ocean currents
- 16. Caused by differences in temperature and salinity
- 18. the periodic rise and fall of sea levels
- 19. The water level is dropping towards low tide while flowing away from shore
- 20. Affect some ocean currents
- 21. They are caused by wind and carry energy
- 23. Occurs when the sun and moon align largest tidal range
- 24. 100km wide current located in the Atlantic Ocean
- 25. Causes the Coriolis Effect
Down
- 1. More Dense
- 6. Horizontal movement of ocean water in the top 100-200 meters
- 8. Ocean Current caused by the Differences in temperature and salinity
- 9. Upward motion of ocean water
- 11. Difference in height between low and high tides
- 12. Shifting of Winds and surface currents from their existing path
- 13. masses of moving water that distribute heat and nutrients
- 15. When the sea level is flowing towards shore
- 17. Collapsing waves
- 22. The force that creates tides
