Across
  1. 3. Transitional layer under the surface layer
  2. 5. Tidal range is at it's highest
  3. 6. Shallowest part of a continental margin
  4. 9. Current flowing parallel to the shore
  5. 12. Tidal range is at it's lowest point
  6. 14. Shallow water offshore above a sandbar
  7. 15. Rapidly flowing water currents along bottom of the sea
  8. 18. Seafloor droops away quickly
  9. 19. Margin Where continental edges of continents meet the ocean
  10. 20. Flattest part of the ocean (5 or 6km below sea level)
Down
  1. 1. Submerged basaltic volcanoe more than 1km high
  2. 2. This vertical current moves slowly in deep ocean water (follows global conveyor belt)
  3. 4. Where large rivers empty into oceans
  4. 7. Driven by global winds (Mainly top 100-200m of the ocean experience this)
  5. 8. Initially straight wave crests bend when part of the crest moves into shallow water
  6. 10. Most prominent features of ocean basins
  7. 11. Collapsing waves
  8. 13. Large, extinct basaltic volcanoes
  9. 16. Upward motion of water
  10. 17. Rise Gently sloping accumulation of deposits
