Waves | Currents |
Formed due to the forces exerted by winds on the water surface | Formed as a result of temperature differences on oceanic surfaces |
Waves are defined as the energy that moves across the surface of the water | Currents are defined as the direction of flow of a body of water |
The intensity of waves are influenced by wind factors | The intensity of currents are influenced by winds, temperature differences in water and the oceanic surface topography |
Waves occur regularly across bodies of water | Equatorial currents like El Nino occur every few years |
Waves move from side to side | Currents flow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. This is known as the Coriolis Effect |

Tides | Currents |
Formed due to the interaction of gravitational forces between the Earth, Sun and Moon | Formed as a result of temperature differences on oceanic surfaces |
Tides are defined as the rise and fall of the sea level | Currents are defined as the direction of flow of a body of water |
The intensity of tides are influenced by the location and position of the Earth | The intensity of currents are influenced by winds, temperature differences in water and the oceanic surface topography |
Tides occur twice a day | Equatorial currents like El Nino occur every few years |
Tides move up and down | Currents flow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. This is known as the Coriolis Effect. |
