🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between flood current and ebb current • Relationship between current direction and the shore/land versus the sea/ocean • How tide height (rising or falling water level) relates to current direction

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: during a flood tide on a coastal chart, is the water generally coming in toward the land or going out toward the sea? • Think about the opposite term, ebb current. If ebb is one direction, flood must logically be the other. Which way does ebb flow? • Consider what mariners experience in a harbor or river mouth as the tide comes in. Is the flow setting inward or outward?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the standard pair: flood current vs. ebb current in your textbook or tide/current tables legend. • Check whether the definition of flood involves direction of flow rather than the cause (like rain) or just the water level. • Make sure the option you choose clearly describes water moving horizontally toward or away from land/sea, not simply changing level.
