Across
  1. 4. Waves that do not progress in a particular direction, but rather form around a node.
  2. 8. Incoming, or rising, tide.
  3. 10. An outgoing tide
  4. 11. The tides with a large tidal range; they occur around the times of full or new moon.
  5. 16. The movement of water or sediment down a shore in the direction of wave action.
  6. 19. The high and low points at each end of a standing wave
  7. 20. A wave moving through water greater than ½ of its wavelength.
  8. 21. A steep wave generated as high tides move up some estuaries and rivers.
  9. 23. A disturbance that starts a wave.
  10. 24. A wave that forms between waters of two different densities.
  11. 25. The point or points around which a standing wave oscillates.
  12. 26. The horizontal distance between adjacent crests
  13. 27. A force that causes the surface of the water to return to an undisturbed state; gravity or surface tension.
  14. 28. The lowest part of a wave.
  15. 29. Waves that form at the surface of a body of water, caused by friction between wind and water.
  16. 30. Waves that are started by wind, restored by gravity, and move in a particular direction.
  17. 31. A wave with a flatter, rounded wave crest and trough.
  18. 32. A tidal pattern with two high and two low tides each day.
Down
  1. 1. Waves traveling in water between ½ and 1/20th of its wavelength.
  2. 2. The inverse of the period.
  3. 3. The highest part of a wave.
  4. 5. One-half the wave height
  5. 6. A tidal pattern with two successive high tides of different heights each day.
  6. 7. When the crests or troughs of two waves sync up, causing much larger waves.
  7. 9. Long, fast waves produced by earthquakes and other seismic disturbances of the sea floor.
  8. 12. The time the wave takes to move past a given point
  9. 13. A tidal pattern with a high and a low tide each day.
  10. 14. A wave moving through water less than 1/20th of its wavelength.
  11. 15. The change in the direction of a wave as it moves into shallow water.
  12. 17. The tides with a small tidal range. They occur around the times when the moon is in quarter.
  13. 18. An area of rapid seaward-flowing water.
  14. 22. When the crest of one wave meets the trough of another, effectively canceling out the wave.
