Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rise and fall of sea level as a tide crest approaches and passes is called tidal current. A tidal bore is a rare phenomenon in which a wave of water moves up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the river's flow, creating a wave as high as 50 feet. A tidal wave is a term often used incorrectly to describe a tsunami or a large ocean wave caused by a disturbance like a storm or earthquake. An ebb current is the seaward flow of water as a result of low tide.
