Waves, Currents, and Tides
Across
- 6. the monthly tides that happen during the new and full moon phases
- 9. produced by energy movement in the ocean
- 11. the daily rise and fall of Earth's waters
- 12. streams of moving water in the ocean
- 13. the monthly tides that happen during the first and third quarter moon phases
- 14. the lowest point of a wave
- 16. the average precipitation and temperature of an area
Down
- 1. streams of moving water near the top of the ocean
- 2. the highest point of a wave
- 3. this natural satellite has the most effect on the formation of tides
- 4. Earth's rotation causes winds and surface currents to curve
- 5. vertical distance from the trough to the crest
- 7. the force of attraction that creates the tides
- 8. horizontal distance from crest to crest
- 10. streams of moving water formed by differences in density, temperature, and salinity
- 15. these create waves and surface currents
