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.
