Moving Water
10
chop : small waves caused by strong winds that make the water slightly rough
frequency : the number of occurrences of a repeating event
tide : periodic variation in the surface level of the ocean caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun
wavelength : distance between repeating units of a wave (crest or trough) given a frequency
seiche : standing waves that oscillates from a few minutes to a few hours as a result of seismic or atmospheric disturbances
tsunami : series of waves that are created when a large body of water is rapidly displaced
Westerlies : prevailing winds between 30 and 60 degrees latitude, blowing from high pressure areas toward the poles
swell : long surface waves typically caused by tropical storms
capillary : small waves that occur at the interface between substances (air and water)
upwellings : water from the deep sea travels up to the surface carrying nutrients to the ocean surface
