What to Focus On

  • Waves are caused mainly by wind.
  • They transmit energy, not water, across the ocean.
  • Tsunamis are caused by underwater disturbances like earthquakes.

  • Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
  • Centrifugal force also contributes to tidal bulges.
  • There are two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 25 minutes.

  • Ocean currents are large-scale movements of seawater.
  • Warm currents flow from equator to poles; cold currents from poles to equator.
  • Main factors: wind, Coriolis effect, temperature, salinity, and landmasses.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Tides are caused only by the Moon’s gravity pulling water upward.
