  3. 100 Currents that are formed from strong winds.

  4. 100 What are surface currents?

  5. 200 The curving of moving objects from a straight path due to the Earth’s rotation.

  6. 200 What is the Coriolis effect?

  7. 300 The periodic change in the location of warm and cool surface waters in the Pacific Ocean.

  8. 300 What is El Nino?

  9. 400 These currents create warm climates in coastal areas that would otherwise be much cooler.

  10. 400 What are warm-water surface currents?

  11. 500 These currents create cooler climates in coastal areas that would otherwise be much warmer.

  12. 500 What are cold-water surface currents?

  13. 100 The time between the passage of two wave crests (or troughs) at a fixed point.

  14. 100 What is wave period?

  15. 200 Waves that move in water whose depth is less than one-half of their wavelength.

  16. 200 What are shallow water waves?

  17. 300 When gravity pulls high wave crests down, causing them to crash into the ocean floor.

  18. 300 What are breakers?

  19. 400 The area between the breaker zone and the shore.

  20. 400 What is the surf?

  21. 500 Wavelength (m) Wave period (s) =

  22. 500 What is the equation used to calculate wave speed?

  23. 100 The factor that is responsible for changing the direction of ocean water as it meets a land mass.

  24. 100 What is continental deflection?

  25. 200 Rolling waves that move in a steady procession across the ocean, sometimes traveling for thousands of kilometers.

  26. 200 What are swells?

  27. 300 A hurricane’s storm surge is caused by this.

  28. 300 What are high winds?

  29. 400 As these come near the shore, their height increases.

  30. 400 What are waves?

  31. 500 In Earth’s polar regions, cold air chills the water molecules at the ocean’s surface, causing them to slow down and move closer together. As a result, this increases.

  32. 500 What is the water’s density?

  33. 100 Stream-like movements of water that occur far below the surface of the ocean.

  34. 100 What are deep currents?

  35. 200 Waves that break in the open ocean.

  36. 200 What are whitecaps?

  37. 300 Global winds, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflection are the factors that affect these.

  38. 300 What are surface currents?

  39. 400 What type of tides would occur when the sun, Earth, and moon are in this position? Also, where would high tide be?

  40. 400 Neap Tide

  41. 500 How often do spring tides occur?

  42. 500 Every 14 days

  43. 100 The distance between two adjacent waves.

  44. 100 What is wavelength?

  45. 200 The highest point of a wave.

  46. 200 What is the crest?

  47. 300 The lowest point of a wave.

  48. 300 What is the trough?

  49. 400 The distance from a wave crest to a wave trough.

  50. 400 What the wave height?
