Movements of Ocean Water
NCERT Fundamentals of Physical Geography, Class 11, Chapter 14 sets ocean water in motion through waves, tides, and currents. It traces winds raising waves, the moon and sun pulling tides that flood and drain coasts twice daily, and warm and cold currents circling the basins. The chapter links upwelling to rich fishing grounds, currents to coastal climate, and tides to harbours and power. Maps of major currents help readers feel how restless seas carry heat, nutrients, and ships around the globe.
