Waves Tides Currents
Formed due to the forces exerted by winds on the water surface Formed due to the interaction of gravitational forces between the Earth, Sun and Moon Formed as a result of temperature differences on oceanic surfaces
Waves are defined as the energy that moves across the surface of the water 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 waves are influenced by wind factors 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
Waves occur regularly across bodies of water Tides occur twice a day Equatorial currents like El Nino occur every few years
Waves move from side to side 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.
