Explanation:

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.
