What are tides?

• More water filling up the ocean
• The rising and falling of the water on the earth surface
• Jupiter orbiting the moon
• Waves in the oceans 

Surface ocean currents are generated mostly by

• the Coriolis effect
• water density
• tides
• wind

The Gulf Stream current makes the waters of North Atlantic

• cooler
• warmer
• more dense
• less nutrient rich
