KS3 Geography — Waves and Tides — Full Worksheet

🌊 Build deep understanding of waves and tides with this complete, no-prep 100-mark worksheet — ready to use for lessons, homework, or revision. Waves are caused by wind blowing over the sea's surface, while tides are the rise and fall of sea level caused by the Moon's gravity, and this resource covers both in depth for KS3 students aged 11–14.
