Question

tides and currents both describe movements of ocean water, but the two have different causes and behaviors. tides are large waves created by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. the ocean gets pulled upward during high tide, and it drops during low tide. this causes the water level to rise and fall along the coast. currents, on the other hand, are caused by the tides themselves, as well as by winds and temperature differences. instead of moving up and down, currents move horizontally. currents can occur at the oceans surface, or deep underwater. large currents transport heat and nutrients around the planets oceans. although tides are always present, currents can be temporary.

Explanation:

• The text states that both tides and currents describe the motion of ocean water.
• Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon.
• Currents move horizontally.
• Currents can be temporary.

Answer:

• Describe the motion of ocean water: Both Currents and Tides.
• Are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon: Tides.
• Move horizontally: Currents.
• Can be temporary: Currents.
