(v) What are tides and how are they caused?
(vi) What are ocean currents?
Answers
Answer:
I) Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth. It comes in many forms, like rain, sleet, and snow.
ii) the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
iii) Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration,and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction.
iv) Some factors like temperature, salinity, density and the external forces like of the sun, moon and the winds influence the movement of ocean water. The horizontal and vertical motions are common in ocean water bodies.
v) Tides are caused by gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. The rise and fall of the tides play an important role in the natural world and can have a marked effect on maritime-related activities.
vi) An ocean current is any more or less permanent or continuous, directed movement of ocean water that flows in one of the Earth's oceans. The currents are generated from the forces acting upon the water like the earth's rotation, the wind, the temperature and salinity differences and the gravitation of the moon.
