Across
  1. 2. movement of water of different densities.
  2. 5. the portion of an ocean wave that is displaced above the still-water level.
  3. 8. a seismic sea wave
  4. 9. (also known as side-to-side) energy that travels at right angles to the direction of the vibrating particles.
  5. 13. the overlapping of different wave groups, either in phase or out of phase
  6. 14. a type of wave where energy is moved along the interface between two fluids of different densities.
  7. 15. the particles that vibrate "push and pull" in the same direction that the wave is traveling.
Down
  1. 1. a region where waves break at the seaward margin of the surf zone
  2. 3. movement of different air masses.
  3. 4. the process in which a wave has parts of its energy returned seaward by a reflecting surface
  4. 6. a free ocean wave by which energy put into ocean waves by wind in the sea is transported with little energy loss across great stretches of ocean.
  5. 7. the horizontal distance between two corresponding points on successive waves, such as from crest to crest.
  6. 10. the process by which the part of a wave in shallow water is slowed down.
  7. 11. the part of an ocean wave that is displaced below the still-water level.
  8. 12. the movement of air across the ocean surface creates ________ waves.
