ocean currents are the Waves of higher amount of water in any particular direction.. where as ocean waves are formed across the surface of the ocean creating small ripples which eventually become waves with increasing time and distance....
hope it helps you...
OCEANIC WAVES
★Ocean waves are formed as wind blows across the surface of the ocean, creating small ripples, which eventually become waves with increasing time and distance. When waves reach shallow water, they become unstable and begin to break and can impose large hydrodynamic forces on organisms living in these regions.
OCEANIC CURRENTS
★An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of sea water generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves, cabbeling, and temperature and salinity differences.
