Explanation:

• Gravitational force/Gravity: The force of attraction between two masses, such as the Earth and objects on or near it. Can remember as the "pull - down" force.
• Spring tides: Tides that occur when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon combine, leading to higher high - tides and lower low - tides. Recall as the "strong tides from sun - moon alignment".
• Neap tides: Tides that occur when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon act at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high - tides and higher low - tides. Remember as the "weak tides from sun - moon right - angle".
• Surf zone: The area along the shore where waves break and release their energy. Think of it as the "wave - breaking zone near the beach".
• Longshore currents: Currents that flow parallel to the shore, caused by the oblique approach of waves. Recall as the "shore - parallel water flows".
• Rip currents: Narrow, fast - moving currents that flow away from the shore, often occurring in the surf zone. Remember as the "out - to - sea pulling currents near the beach".

Answer:

Vocabulary Term	Definition	How I Remember
Spring tides	Tides when sun and moon gravitational forces combine for higher high - tides and lower low - tides	The "strong tides from sun - moon alignment"
Neap tides	Tides when sun and moon gravitational forces act at right angles for lower high - tides and higher low - tides	The "weak tides from sun - moon right - angle"
Surf zone	The area along the shore where waves break and release energy	The "wave - breaking zone near the beach"
Longshore currents	Currents that flow parallel to the shore due to oblique wave approach	The "shore - parallel water flows"
Rip currents	Narrow, fast - moving currents flowing away from the shore in the surf zone	The "out - to - sea pulling currents near the beach"
