👉 The term "crosscurrent" refers to a situation in which two or more currents of water, such as rivers, streams, or ocean tides, pass through each other at an intersection. This can occur when one current is flowing over another, creating a sudden change in water flow and pressure that can lead to dangerous conditions. Crosscurrents are often associated with severe weather events like floods, hurricanes, and tsunamis, as they can cause significant damage and loss of life.
