Yes or No

Cold ocean currents along a coast can dry the air so much that a desert forms.

Yes or No

Upwelling has been observed only near the Equator due to its lower-than-average sea level.

Yes or No

Stacks are very ancient coastal formations.

Yes or No

There may be more than one longshore bar in the breaker zone of a beach.

Yes or No

Shallow-water wave speed depends on the length of the wave.

Yes or No

Generally speaking, the longest waves have the greatest speeds.

Yes or No

Waves generally move water great distances.

Yes or No

The deep, very cold and salty currents that circulate along the bottoms of the ocean basins are the thermohaline currents.

Yes or No

Downwelling currents can form when too much water piles up in one place from wind or currents.

Yes or No

Currents are affected by the rotation of the earth.

Yes or No

 Solar tides by themselves are much smaller than lunar tides.

Yes or No

Twice-daily lunar tides are not exactly 12 hours apart because the moon orbits the earth.
