Down
- 1. 2 high tide and 2 low tides per day (are roughly equal in height)
- 3. highest level a tide rises in a day
- 4. 2 high tide and 2 low tide per day (are different in height)
- 5. wave speed
- 8. measure of the degree water loses its transparency due to presence of suspended particles
- 9. change in salinity with depth
- 10. lower high tides and higher low tides
- 12. particles of water transported toward the shore and down the beach in the direction of the waves
- 15. highest high tides and lowest low tides
