2. highest point of a wave
3. lowest point of a wave
6. water falling from clouds including rain, snow, sleet, and hail whose form is determined by air temperature
10. current wind powered ocean currents that move horizontally
13. a strong ocean current that runs perpendicular to the shore
15. daily rise and fall in sea level caused, for the most part, by the gravitational pull

1. long, narrow, steep-sided depression in the seafloor formed when one crustal plate sinks beneath another
3. seismic sea wave that begins over an earthquake focus and can be highly destructive when it crashes on shore
4. current circulation pattern that the ocean forms when a mass of more dense seawater sinks
5. circulation in the ocean that brings deep, cold water to the surface
7. slope ocean basin that dips down from the continental shelf
8. layout of an area either above or below oceans water
9. collapsing ocean wave that forms in shallow water and breaks onto shore
11. plain flat seafloor area from 4,000 (m) to 6,000 (m) below the ocean surface
12. rhythmic pattern that carries energy through matter or space
14. ocean ridge area where new ocean floor is formed when lava erupts through cracks in the earths crust
