What is the difference between ocean current and rip current?
Ocean currents are currents that move across the globe from one temperature zone to another. Rip currents are localized currents caused by a combination of tides and waves agains the shore line where the water is shallow.
What are two kinds of near-shore currents?
What are two kinds of near shore currents
Is the heavy waves caused by a hurricane called rip tides?
No, rip tides are not caused by heavy waves from hurricanes. Rip tides, also known as rip currents, are swift, narrow currents flowing away from the shore. They are typically caused by complex interactions between waves, currents, and geography, and can be dangerous for swimmers and surfers.
What is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.

What are currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to the shore called?
These currents are called LongShore or Feeder Currents.
What are currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to the shore?
Longshore currents
What currents are currents caused by temperature?
wind
What affects do water waves and currents have on beaches?
waves and currents make the shore bigger
What type of currents are caused by the moon's gravity?
Tidal Currents are caused by the gravity of the Moon.
Are deep currents caused by differences in pressurre?
All currents are caused by differences in pressure.
How are beach erosion made?
beach erosion is caused by the movement of ocean currents along the shoreline, and by wave action. As an ocean current moves parallel to the shore, it will carry away sediment. Wave action also does this, kind of similarly to currents.
