Waves

Wave a long body of water curling into an arched form and breaking on the shore.
Wave length In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats, and thus the inverse of the spatial frequency.
Wave crest A crest is the point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle. A crest is a point on the wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum. A trough is the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point in a cycl

Deep ocean current Deep ocean currents are driven by density and temperature gradients.
Surface current The water at the ocean surface is moved primarily by winds that blow in certain patterns because of the Earth's spin and the Coriolis Effect.
Salinity the concentration of dissolved salts in water etc., usually expressed in parts per thousand by weight.
Density degree of consistency measured by the quantity of mass per unit volume.
Spring tide a tide just after a new or full moon, when there is the greatest difference between high and low water.
Neap tide a tide just after the first or third quarters of the moon when there is the least difference between high and low water.
Gravitational pull Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass are brought toward one another, including objects ranging from atoms and photons, to planets and stars.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
