What to Focus On

  • Horizontal motion includes waves and currents.
  • Vertical motion includes tides.
  • Currents move water mass forward in a definite direction.
  • Waves carry energy, not water mass.
  • Water particles move in small circles.
  • Wind is the main source of wave energy.
  • Crest is the highest point of a wave.
  • Trough is the lowest point of a wave.
  • Wave height is trough-to-crest vertical distance.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Waves move the water mass forward across the ocean surface.

Ocean currents and waves are the same because both move horizontally.

A wave breaks when the water is very deep.

Memory Tips

Ocean currents and waves are horizontal motion of ocean water

Tides are vertical motion of ocean water
