Water movement

1. the increase in ocean volume due to the warming of water
3. Local changes in sea level due to the land rising or falling
5. A temporary rise in sea level caused by strong winds and low atmospheric pressure during storms.
7. A climate pattern characterized by the warming of surface waters in the Pacific Ocean, affecting global weather patterns
8. The counterpart of El Niño, marked by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the pacific.
9. large circular ocean current systems formed by global wind patterns and forces created by earth’s rotation.
10. the rising of cold, nutrient-rich water from deep in the ocean to the surface,supporting high productivity.
11. The distance over open water that a wind blows, affecting the size and strength of waves.

2. Global change in sea level due to changes in the amount of water in the oceans
4. a large,powerful sea wave caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, often due to earthquakes or landslides.
6. Global conveyor belt of ocean water driven by temperature and salinity differences.
