Ocean Unit Part 1
Across
- 2. current driven by wind systems
- 5. directs sound waves to the sea floor at an angle
- 11. profile that plots changing water temperature against depth
- 12. tide when Sun, Moon, and Earth all align
- 13. is highest point of wave
- 14. is characterized by rapidly decreasing temperatures with depth
- 15. level of the ocean's surface
- 16. periodic rise and fall of sea level
- 17. current caused by differences in temperatures and salinity of ocean water
Down
- 1. are global wind system located between 30* N and 60* N.
- 3. where a large river empties into the ocean
- 4. rhythmic movement that carries energy through space and matter
- 6. measures the amount of dissolved salt
- 7. is lowest point of wave
- 8. when deeper water moves vertically
- 9. a collapsing wave
- 10. tide is when tidal range is the lowest
