Question
Answer
The periodic rise and fall of the ocean's surface caused by the gravitational force between Earth and the Moon and between Earth and the Sun   Tides  
🗑
Occurs when Earth, the Moon, and the Sun form a right angle, has the lowest tidal range   Neap tide  
🗑
The average level of the ocean's surface at any given time   Sea level  
🗑
A wave that forms when an ocean disturbance suddenly moves a large volume of water   Tsunami  
🗑
Occurs when Earth, the Moon, and the Sun form a straight line; has the largest tidal range   Spring tide  
🗑
The difference in water level between a high tide and a low tide   Tidal range  
🗑
The highest part of a wave   Crest  
🗑
The lowest part of a wave   Trough  
🗑
The vertical distance from the crest to crest or from trough to trough   Wave height  
🗑
The horizontal distance from crest to crest or from trough trough   Wavelength  
🗑
The currents formed by wind blowing over the surface of water   Surface waves  
🗑
The motion of the water particles in a wave is circular   True  
🗑
Waves generally transport water   False  
🗑
Define Breaker   When a wave's base can no longer support the crest, and the wave collapses  
🗑
How shallow does water need to be for a breaker to form   Seashore shallow  
🗑
What disturbances can causes a tsunami   Underwater earthquake or landslides, a volcanic eruption, or even ice breaking away from a glacier.  
🗑
What causes tides   Gravitational force  
🗑
Why does the largest tidal range occur during spring tides   Gravitational pull on the ocean is strongest when the two forces act together  
🗑
Why does a neap tide have the lowest tidal range   Gravitational pull act against each other  
🗑
The average level of the ocean's surface at any given time   Sea level  
🗑
The difference in water level between a high tide and a low tide   Tidal range  
🗑
A tide that has the largest tidal range   Spring tide  
🗑
A tide that has the lowest tidal range   Neap tide  
🗑
The _____ distance between the crest and the trough of a wave is the wave height   Vertical  
🗑
_____ are the periodic rise and fall of the ocean's surface caused by the _______ force between Earth and the Moon and between Earth and the Sun   Tides and Gravitational  
🗑
