Question

what are waves and tides?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Waves transmit energy, not water, and are commonly caused by the wind as it blows across the ocean, lakes, and rivers. Waves caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun are called tides. The ebb and flow of waves and tides are the life force of our world ocean.

Tides are the short term periodic rise and fall of the world's oceans. They are due to the combined effects of gravitational attraction and the revolution of the Earth-moon system about its common centre of mass. ... Elsewhere the two forces are not in balance and give rise to the so-called tide generating force.

Hope this answer helps you out.

Answer 2

Answer:

Waves are a disturbance on the surface of the sea or ocean, in the form of a moving ridge or swell.

Tides are very long-period waves that move through the oceans in response to the forces exerted by the moon and sun.
