| the lowest part of a wave | trough |
| the vertical distance between the crest and the trough | wave height |
| the horizontal distance from crest to crest or trough to trough | wavelength |
| the currents formed by wind blowing over the surface of water | surface waves |
| a wave that forms when an ocean disturbance suddenly moves a large volume of water | tsunami |
| the average level of the oceans surface at any given time | sea level |
| the periodic rise and fall of the oceans surface caused by the gravitational force between earth and the moon and between earth and the sun | tides |
| the difference in water level between a high tide and a low tide | tidal range |
| a tide that has the largest tidal range | spring tide |
| a tide that has the lowest tidal range | neap tide |
| the periodic rise and fall | tide |
| occurs when earth, the moon, and the sun form a right angle; has the lowest tidal range | neap tide |
| the average level of the oceans surface at any given time | sea level |
| a wave that forms when an ocean disturbance | tsunami |
| occurs when earth, the moon , and the sun form a straight line has the largest tidal range | spring tide |
| water level between a high tide and low tide | tidal range |
| the is the highest part of a wave | crest |
| the is the lowest part | trough |
| the distance between the crest and the trough of a wave is the wave height | vertical |
| horizontal distance from crest to crest or trough to trough | wave length |
| surface waves are the currents formed by over the surface of waves | wind blowing |
