What is the upward motion of water of ocean water called?
tidal break
What is the upward motion of the ocean water?
tidal break
What is the upward movement of cold water from the oceans depths called?
It is called "upwelling" and occurs due to wind-induced surface motion, and often the Coriolis effect.
The upward force on a boat floating on water is called?
It's called the buoyancy force.
What is a moon tide?
On Earth, ocean tides are caused by the moon. This is because the moon is pulling on the surface of the Earth and the water in the ocean which is closer to the moon is pulled upward. This upward surge causes high tide while on the opposite side of the Earth (where the moon is furthest from the water) there is a low tide.
What is the name of the force that slows a boat down?
Generally, friction will slow kinetic motion in water and air alike.Gravity will always tend to pull things down, thus slowing upward motion.Generally, friction will slow kinetic motion in water and air alike.fluid friction
What makes waves in the ocean?
A periodic disturbance of the particles of a of a body of water, such as in the passage of undulating motion, makes waves in the ocean.
What is the movement of ocean water that is caused by the uneven heating and density of the ocean water?
It is called an ocean current
Describe motion of a water molecule on the surface of the ocean as a wave passes by?
it goes from crest to trough in a wave like motion. this is the right answer
What motion does the water move in?
It moves up and down, also known as the ocean currents
What is salt water lakes called?
What a salt water lakes is called an ocean
What is an upward force exerted by water and other fluids?
