1. Current flowing down slope, parallel to a landmass and is located between two wind-driven currents. 2. Term for the phenomenon whereby currents along the eastern coasts of continents are narrow and swift. 3. Circular current flowing around an entire ocean basin but largely restricted to a hemisphere. 4. Term for the balance between gravity and Coriolis that allows currents to display almost no deflection. General term for a place where water flows together and sinks because increased density. 6. Down slope eastward-flowing surface current in the tropics between major gyres. 7. Graph illustrating the change in direction of water flow with depth because of the speed-Coriolis relationship. 8. Waves that characterize a "fully develop sea". 9. Bending of progressive waves into shallow water or other regions where wave travels slower. 10. Net forward transport of water with each passing deep-water wave.
