Question

use the text to compare and contrast tides and currents. 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. describe the motion of ocean water are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon move horizontally can be temporary

Explanation:

• Tides: As per the text, tides are large waves. The ocean water moves up (high tide) and down (low tide), so the first row (Describe the motion of ocean water) applies to tides. Also, it's clearly stated that tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon, so the second row (Are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon) applies to tides.
• Currents: The text mentions that currents move horizontally (opposite to the up - down motion of tides), so the third row (Move horizontally) applies to currents. Also, it says currents can be temporary (while tides are always present), so the fourth row (Can be temporary) applies to currents.

Answer:

	Tides	Currents
Are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon	✔️
