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.
