Question

reading strategy: compare and contrast. pages 391 - 392 of your textbook compare and contrast waves, tides and currents. remember, to compare means to describe similarities. to contrast, means to describe differences. organizing similarities and differences in a venn diagram is a visual way to help you understand and remember key concepts. remember, in a venn diagram, a circle is used for each object, event or process. unique characteristics are listed in each circle. shared characteristics are listed in the area where the circles overlap. as you read about waves, tides and currents on pages 391 - 392 of your textbook, use your own words to list the similarities and differences between them in the venn diagram below. when you have completed the diagram, use it as a study aid to review key concepts from the lesson.

Explanation:

Waves are disturbances on water surface often caused by wind. Tides are periodic rises and falls of sea levels mainly due to gravitational forces of moon and sun. Currents are continuous, directed movement of water. Similarities: All are related to water - movement or change on water bodies. Differences: Waves are short - term and wind - induced, tides are long - term and gravity - driven, currents are continuous and can be due to multiple factors like temperature, salinity differences. In the Venn diagram, unique aspects of each (e.g., wave - wind - caused; tide - gravitational; current - continuous flow) go in non - overlapping parts and shared aspects (water - related movement) in overlapping parts.

Answer:

In the "Waves" circle: Caused by wind, short - term disturbances on water surface.
In the "Tides" circle: Caused by gravitational forces of moon and sun, periodic rise and fall of sea levels.
In the "Currents" circle: Continuous, directed movement of water, can be due to temperature/salinity differences.
In the overlapping area of all three: Related to movement or change in water bodies.
