What to Focus On
- Ocean water moves in three ways: waves, currents, and tides.
- Waves are oscillatory movements of the sea surface.
- Currents are regular movements of water in a fixed direction.
- Waves are oscillatory movements of water.
- Only the wave moves forward; water particles do not travel with it.
- Crest is the upper part of a wave and trough is the lower part.
- Currents are regular movements of water in a definite direction.
- Water moves forward in currents.
- Currents affect great depths, unlike waves.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Waves and currents are the same because both move seawater.
Wave size depends mainly on the depth of water.
A wave carries water forward, so a floating object travels with it automatically.
Memory Tips
Three forms of ocean water movement
Wave definition and particle movement
Crest and trough
Wavelength, wave period, and wave height
