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:

• Tides: As per the text, tides are described as large waves caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. The text also mentions that tides are always present. So for the statement "Are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon", it should be checked under Tides.
• Currents: The text states that currents move horizontally (unlike tides which cause vertical - like water level changes) and that currents can be temporary. So for "Move horizontally" and "Can be temporary", they should be checked under Currents.

Answer:

• Describe the motion of ocean water: (No check as the text doesn't specifically say this is exclusive to either in a simple check - box way based on the given statements. But if we assume the first row is a general description, both are about ocean water motion. However, based on the other rows' nature of specific characteristics):
• Are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon: Tides
• Move horizontally: Currents
• Can be temporary: Currents
