Physical
Physical oceanography is the special area of oceanography that deals with currents and waves. It is the study of physical attributes of the ocean.

Physical
That special area is called oceanography, which focuses on studying the physical and biological aspects of the ocean, including waves, currents, and tides. Oceanographers use various tools and technologies to analyze ocean dynamics and ecosystems, helping to understand and predict changes in marine environments.
Oceanography.
Generally, the study of oceans is Oceanography. Specifically, the study of waves and currents is Physical Oceanography, one of the four branches of Oceanography; Physical, Chemical, Biological, and Geological. The study of waves and currents is often confused with Astronomy, since they are caused by the moon; however, the study of the effect is classified under Physical Oceanography.
* Physical Oceanography - study of the motions of seawater, particularly waves currents and tidal motion. * Chemical Oceanography - chemistry of seawater and reactions between the atmosphere and hydrosphere. More recently looks at how changes in seawater temperature (El Nino) and salinity affect global climate. * Biological Oceanography - study of life in the oceans, includes marine biology and ecology. * Geological Oceanography - study of the shape and geologic features of the ocean floor.
Oceanography is a multidisciplinary science that encompasses aspects of both physical and biological sciences. Physical oceanography focuses on the physical properties of the ocean, such as currents, waves, and tides, while biological oceanography studies marine life and ecosystems. Both physical and biological components are crucial in understanding the complexities of the ocean.
Oceanography (also called oceanology or marine science). It is a branch of Earth Science that studies the ocean. It covers the study of:- ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics- marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics- plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor- fluxes of chemical substances and physical properties in the ocean
An example of this can simply be catching a fish or marine plant and just writing down observations about it.
waves and currents make the shore bigger
It has to be Lotic, because of waves and currents.
