Water Systems
Across
- 6. Where large rivers empty into oceans, causes lower salinity
- 7. Currents north of the equator move this way
- 10. Water that doesn't soak into the ground or evaporate
- 11. Carry energy and are caused by wind
- 12. Tide Occurs when Earth, the sun, and the moon are all aligned and the tidal range is the largest
- 15. Slope Area beyond the continental shelf where the seafloor drops sharply
Down
- 1. Differences Ocean layering is caused by
- 2. Groundwater that comes in contact with magma and comes to the surface
- 3. Collapsing waves
- 4. Organisms that drift with the current and go wherever the water takes them
- 5. A rock layer that lets water move freely
- 8. Crust Thin crust associated with deep ocean basins
- 9. Pulls on ocean water and causes oceans to bulge towards it
- 13. A hot spring that erupts periodically
- 14. East coast currents are
- 15. A natural underground opening with a connection to the Earth's surface
