1.Tides are formed because of the interaction of the gravitational forces between the Earth, the moon, and the sun.
2.Waves are formed because of the gusting or raging force exerted by the wind on the water surface.
3.Tides are usually generated at the deep oceanic regions while waves are usually seen at shallower areas of the sea.
4.Tides are made by the rising and falling sea levels with the action of gravity while waves are formed when several factors relating to the wind and water interact with each other.

• Tides are periodic rise and fall of large masses of water. They are caused by the gravitational interaction that exists between the Earth and the Moon.
• On the other hand, waves are caused by the winds blowing on the surface of the ocean or even lakes. This happens all the time.
• Tides only occur in the oceans, while waves can be seen in any water body. However, large lakes can sometimes experience small tides.
• Tides and waves differ from each other in their method of formation. Wave is formed by various factors such as wind speed, the distance to which the wind slides, width of the area affected by fetch, the length of time the wind has blown over the area, and of course the depth of water. Tides are formed depending on the behavior of the moon and the sun.
