difference between tides and waves?

Answer 1

Wave - a raised line of water that moves across the surface of the sea, ocean, etc.

Tide - a regular rise and fall in the level of the sea, caused by the pull of the moon and sun or the flow of water that happens as the sea rises and falls.

Waves, tides and currents are three types of natural phenomena that occur on water and whilst they are similar in nature, they are not the same thing. While all three are related to bodies of water, they differ based on their causes, intensity and frequency among other factors [1]. Another common misconception is that while these phenomena are known to drive the sea, the ocean itself is not responsible for the generation of waves, tides and currents. Waves for example are influenced by the action of wind on the surface of the ocean while currents are influenced by the heat from the sun on

the equator and cooler poles. Tides on the other hand are caused by gravitational forces from the moon and sun. All three contain some form of moving and potential energy and slight changes can lead to much larger downstream effects that affect nearby communities and recreational users.
