Across
  1. 4. Depression in the water between the crest
  2. 6. tide The period when the ocean levels are at their highest point.
  3. 7. circular path in which currents move.
  4. 8. tide A tide that is higher than normal at high tide and lower than normal at low tide. (Occurs at the new moon and full moon)
  5. 9. Current- a cold current that flows northward along the western (Pacific) coast of South America.
  6. 10. Motions of water that transfer energy through the water. Can be any size of waves.
  7. 12. stream- warm surface currents that flow from the tip of Florida to western Europe.
  8. 15. When waves have white foamy crests.
  9. 17. tides Weaker than normal Tides they occur when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other causing their title effects to almost cancel each other out.
  10. 18. tide The period when the ocean levels are at their lowest.
  11. 20. currents- large masses of water that flow horizontally along the surface of the oceans.
  12. 21. swells Gentle rolling waves that (can appear during calm weathers.)
  13. 22. current A current that flows in the opposite direction either next to, on top of or under the surface current.
  14. 25. Wave with a white crest.
  15. 27. Predictable movements of water.
  16. 29. tide When both high tides rise to the same level and both low tides fall to the same level.
Down
  1. 1. upward-flowing current form when a prevailing land breeze causes surface water to drift away from the coast.
  2. 2. Length of time between one crest and the other.
  3. 3. tides Tides that occur as one high tide and one low tide each day.
  4. 5. A current of water that's below the surface moving in different directions.
  5. 8. Mass of forming water that forms when a breaker washes onto the beach.
  6. 11. currents- deep ocean currents.
  7. 13. current Water that flows parallel to a beach due to outflowing water being trapped by sandbars.
  8. 14. current Currents that carry large volumes of water from the shore to the Sea,which seek to flow back offshore but are trapped by sandbars Which forms a narrow channel of rapidly flowing water.
  9. 16. Highest point of a wave
  10. 19. currents- large streams of ocean water that flow at or below the surface.
  11. 23. current- when mud or silt mixes with sea water.
  12. 24. current- substance current that results from differences in density.
  13. 26. Giant waves that are formed by massive underwater earthquakes.
  14. 28. semidiurnal tide When one high tide is higher than the other high tide and one low tide is lower than the other low tide.
