Currents are a small source of water moving and waves are a bigger source of water moving. The waves are control (more or less made) by the wind where as the waves control and create the currents which is pretty strange.
Currents are the one associated with the movement of water where as Waves carry only Energy i.e. NO mass transport
What else can I help you with?
How is an ocean wave different from an ocean current?
They are different because Currents are small and Waves are big.

What affects do water waves and currents have on beaches?
waves and currents make the shore bigger
Is a ocean lentic or lotic water?
It has to be Lotic, because of waves and currents.
How does the concept of waves envelope impact the behavior of ocean currents?
The concept of waves influences ocean currents by transferring energy and momentum. Waves can cause surface currents to form, which can affect the movement of water in the ocean. The interaction between waves and currents can impact the behavior of ocean circulation patterns.
What happen when surface currents meet a continent?
you get waves not tidal waves or tsunami's! You just get waves. how big they get would depend on air currents and storms
How do currents work?
currents are effected by a lot of things one of them is the moon. The moons gravitational pulls the waves towards it causing waves to move
Are there water waves under water?
Waves, no. Currents, yes. There are a number of different subsurface currents in the oceans, however most of the water moved in such a way in the oceans of the world is referred to as "the Great Ocean Conveyor." This is explained in great detail at the related link below.
What causes ocean currents and why is it important?
waves
What do waves and currents have in common?
they are made of water?
What is a scientist who studies waves and ocean current called?
A Oceanographer. We study waves and currents, geology, chemistry and Biology.
How do waves currents tides and storms affect geological features?
The crashing waves can change everything in the ocean floor also everything in the types can be different from everything. Tides can be different from different types of things due to the currents ocean waves and tide. Tides can be very different and everything can be very unchanged and it can be hard to determine. The difference between the storms can be different between every type of storms. The harbors can be different for all different types of everything. Waves and currents, driven by tides and storms, remove sediment from one area and deposits it in another area. Beaches and barrier islands are formed by deposition. Inlets and harbors are formed by erosion.
