Key Topics to Revise
Waves - Horizontal Motion of Water
- Waves are energy, not water movement - water particles move in small circles as waves pass
- Wind provides energy to waves and causes them to travel across ocean surfaces
- Wave size depends on wind strength, duration, and the area over which wind blows
Tides - Vertical Motion of Water
- Tides are periodic rise and fall of sea level due to gravitational pull of moon and sun
- Moon's gravitational pull is the primary cause, sun's pull is secondary
- Two tidal bulges occur: one facing the moon, another on opposite side due to centrifugal force
Ocean Currents - Continuous Flow of Water
- Ocean currents are like river flow in oceans with regular volume in definite direction
- Primary forces: solar heating, wind, gravity, Coriolis force
- Secondary forces influence current flow patterns
Effects and Importance of Ocean Water Movements
- Ocean currents transport heat between latitude belts similar to atmospheric circulation
- Cold currents create cool, arid climates with fog on west coasts
- Warm currents create mild winters and marine climates on west coasts in higher latitudes
