Q

The movement of water away from the shore or downstream is called a(n) __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Tidal currents and how they move in relation to the shore • Difference between flood (incoming) and ebb (outgoing) current • What slack water/current means in terms of movement

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when water is moving away from the shore or downstream, is it coming in or going out? • Which term is used for water flowing toward the land or upstream, and which is used for water flowing away from land or downstream? • What would you call the period when the current is not noticeably setting in either direction?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the definition: "away from the shore or downstream" with the correct tidal current term • Eliminate the choice that describes water moving toward the shore or upstream • Eliminate the choice that describes little or no current movement at the change of tide
