1.	What are the differences between Waves and currents?
Answer» \tWavesCurrentsFormed due to the forces exerted by winds on the water surfaceFormed as a result of temperature differences on oceanic surfacesWaves are defined as the energy that moves across the surface of the waterCurrents are defined as the direction of flow of a body of waterThe intensity of waves are influenced by wind factorsThe intensity of currents are influenced by winds, temperature differences in water and the oceanic surface topographyWaves occur regularly across bodies of waterEquatorial currents like El Nino occur every few yearsWaves move from side to sideCurrents flow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. This is known as the Coriolis Effect.\t
