Across
  1. 4. The flat part of a continent that is under the water.
  2. 6. An up/down movement of water formed by wind.
  3. 8. The smallest of all the oceans,found at the north pole surrounding the Arctic.
  4. 12. The flat region of the ocean floor.
  5. 16. An underwater valley.
  6. 18. When the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a straight line, causing high tides to be a lot higher and low tides lower.
  7. 20. Surrounds Antarctica at the south pole.
  8. 21. When water formed by condensation falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
  9. 22. A current that flows away from shore in a narrow passage. It is formed due to breaks in the sand bar.
  10. 23. An underwater volcanic mountain (singular).
  11. 24. When water accumulates, or builds up, in a certain place.
  12. 25. The slope between the continental shelf and abyssal plain.
Down
  1. 1. The ocean found in between Africa, Asia, & Australia, ending at the Southern Ocean.
  2. 2. A volcanic mountain in the ocean that protrudes above sea level.
  3. 3. When plants soak up water in their roots and release it as water vapor.
  4. 5. When a gas turns into a liquid.
  5. 7. When water seeps into the ground.
  6. 9. A current found deep under the water due to high(er) density than the rest of the water around it.
  7. 10. A significantly large wave formed by earthquakes under the water.
  8. 11. The second largest ocean on Earth, located between the Americas and Europe & Africa.
  9. 13. An underwater mountain range.
  10. 14. Currents found on the surface of the ocean, usually formed by wind. They are usually warm compared to deep currents.
  11. 15. The largest ocean on Earth, located between the Americas and Asia & Australia.
  12. 17. When a liquid turns into a gas.
  13. 19. When the Earth, Moon, and Sun are perpendicular with each other, the Earth being in the middle. This causes the gravity of the Moon & Sun to cancel out, forming low high tides and higher low tides than usual.
