All currents are caused by differences in pressure.
They are similar because if you think about it carefully, the ocean currents are caused by the air currents and the air currents are caused by the ocean currents, so, it is all a scientific cycle.

Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
Tidal currents are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans. These currents result in the rising and falling of ocean water levels, creating high and low tides along coastlines.
Thermohaline currents, also known as ocean circulation currents, are caused by temperature and salinity differences in the water. These currents play a crucial role in distributing heat around the globe and influence climate patterns.

Tidal currents are not quite the same thing as tides. Tidal currents are horizontal movements of water caused by the tides.
