Difference between Tides and Waves. Key Difference: Tides are the rise and fall of sea level that is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth. Waves are actually energy that moves across the surface of the water.
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. The tide itself is actually a huge wave with an extremely long wavelength. The wavelength is so long that it is only easily observed in the ocean because of it's size. Tides do occur in lakes and ponds they just aren't noticible. Seas and Oceans have space which air can flow freely without stopped by any objects where as in lake or pond ,the water is less and not that much air flow freely. So the air makes large waves in seas and oceans than the lakes and ponds.
