**Currents**: horizontal, unidirectional flow of water Example in sentence: The currents are really strong today.

**Tides**: the vertical rise and fall in sea level, of approximately one meter or more, once or twice a day. Example in a sentence: The water level is low at low tide.

**Sea level**: the level of the surface of the sea especially at its mean position midway between mean high and low water changes. Example in a sentence: Mountains are high above sea level.

**Horizontal**: side to side Example in a sentence: The horizontal line goes from side to side.
