What are Ocean waves and currents? What are ocean tides? What is a Tsunami?

Ocean waves are created by wind blowing across the water's surface, causing friction and creating ripples.

Ocean currents are large, continuous stream of water that flow in a certain direction and are caused by the interaction of wind, water temperature, and the Earth's rotation.

Ocean tides are the regular rise and fall of the sea surface caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth.

Tsunamis are giant waves generated by sudden displacements in the ocean floor, caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or meteorite impacts.

Rogue waves are rare, large, and unexpected ocean waves, sometimes caused by strong winds, tidal currents, and the interaction of multiple wave systems.

Storm surges are large ocean waves caused by the force of strong winds associated with a storm.

Rip currents are powerful, narrow currents of water that flow away from shore, posing a great danger to swimmers.
