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.
Waves are a means of transferring energy, without actually transporting matter. Waves can be either transverse or longitudinal. Transverse waves can be set up on a string or on the surface of water. For this type of wave, the disturbance is at a right angle to the movement of the wave. Longitudinal waves can be set up on a spring, in the air when a sound wave passes, or in heavy traffic.
