The movement of energy through a body of water is called____ and they create_____.

• tides, surface currents

• currents, waves

• waves, surface currents

• waves, deep ocean currents

What is the best explanation for the change you see in this coastline?

• The wind which causes waves is the only factor that contributed to the change in the shape of this coastline.

• Weathering and Erosion is the cause of the change in the shape of this coastline.

• Over time, humans moved the sand around to create the shape of the coastline pictured in 2017.

• Tides, wind, waves and currents all contributed to the weathering, erosion, and deposition of the sand which makes up the coastline.

Which of these would most likely be caused by an increase in wind speed in an area?

• increased number of ocean waves

• increased cloud cover

• increased chance of the Coriolis Effect

• increased height of tides

• El Nino

• a surface current

• upwelling

• the Coriolis Effect
