  10. 18. a tide with the greatest difference between high and low tides that occurs when the sun and moon are aligned with Earth at new moon and the full moon
Down
  1. 1. tide with the greatest difference between low and high tide that occurs when the sun and moon pull at right angles to each other at first and third quarter moons
  2. 2. the most abundant salt in the ocean
  3. 4. the effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents
