PPT-What causes tides? Tides are the rise and fall of ocean water. Water levels rise to

their highest point of the day and fall to their lowest point every 125 hours The tides result from the rotation of Earth on its axis as gravity from the moon and the sun pull on Earth and its water Think . Waves. A . Wave. is a . rhythmic. . movement. that carries . energy. through matter or space.. In oceans, waves move through . seawater. Waves. Caused by. :. Wind. Earthquakes. Gravitational force of the Moon and Sun.. Description of Waves. A wave is the rhythmic movement that carries energy through space or . matter. Waves are generated by wind flowing over the water . surface. As a wave passes, water moves up and down in a circular pattern – returning to its original position. 6. th. Grade Earth Science. Currents. A current is a large stream of water that flows through the ocean. . Two types of currents. Surface Currents Deep Currents.
