wave : the movement of energy through a body of water
wavelength : the horizontal distance between the crest of one wave and the crest of the next wave
frequency : the number of waves that pass a specific point in a given amount of times
wave height : the vertical distance from the crest of a wave to the trough
tsunami : a giant wave usually caused by an earthquake beneath the ocean floor
longshore drift : the movement of water and sediment down a beach caused by waves coming into shore at an angle
rip current : a rush of water that flows rapidly back to sea through a narrow opening in a sanbar
groin : a wall made of rocks or concrete that is built outward from a beach to reduce erosion
tides : the daily rise and fall to Earth's waters on its coastlines
spring tide : a tide with the greatest difference between high and low tide that occurs when the sun and moon are aligned with Earth
neap tide : a tide with the least difference between low and high tide that occur when the sun and the moon pull away in a right angle
salinity : the total amount of dissolved salts in a water sample
submersible : an underwater vehicle built of strong materials to resist pressure
current : a large steam of moving water that flows through the oceans
Coriolis effect : the effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and current
climate : the average, year-after-year conditions of temperature, precipitation, winds and clouds in an area
El Nino : a climate event that occurs, every two to seven years in the Pacific Ocean, during which winds shift and push warm water toward the South America coast
upwelling : the movement of cold water upward from the deep ocean that is caused by wind
