Wave is a movement in the water surface under vertical direction and is caused by wind. The stronger the wind is, so is the wave.
Tide is a natural phenomenon, a regular and periodical oscillation of water. In theory, in terms of physical matter, tide is caused by the gravitational force of the moon and certainly by that of the sun as well.

∙ 10y agoA tide is a regular(daily), fairly slowly occurring change of the sea's surface due to the gravitational influence of the moon. A tide alone rarely does any damage, as all knows what to expect and when.
A Tsunami is a sudden, unpredictable wave that's caused by a geologic/vulcanic disturbance of the seafloor or possibly a huge landslide of a coastline. The big ones will always do damage as they may always strike a coast line where humans have settled.

What a neap tide low or high?
No, it's not either of those things. A neap tide is when the difference between low tide and high tide is at a minimum. They occur roughly twice a month, when the moon is at first or third quarter. When the moon is new or full, you get the opposite of a neap tide, a "spring tide", when the difference between low tide and high tide as at a maximum.
What is the tied called that has the smallest difference between low and high tides?
spring tide
What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?
tsunami's happen underwater and seismic waves happen on land or underground.
What is the difference between the levels at height tide and low tide is the what range?
It's called the Tidal Range and around the coasts is specific to location.
A tide with the least distance between low and high tides is called a(n) tide.?
A tide with the smallest difference between low and high tides is called a neap tide. It occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned such that the angle of the Sun and Earth is 90 degrees with respect to the angle of the Earth and the Moon. This is because the gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon tend to cancel each other out at that angle.
The greatest difference between low and high tide occurs during what tide?
spring tide .. ;)
What is the difference in height between high tide and low tide?
tidal range
What is the difference between tide and tidal range?
tide is the level of the waves and tidal range is the avergae tide
What is the difference between mean hi tide and hi tide?
Well, this is a stupid question!
What is the difference between the levels at high and low tide?
the diffrencce between high tide and low is a high tide is by the gravitaion pull of the moon and/or the sun and a low tide is in the middle between the moon an sun
The difference between water levels at low and high tide-?
Water level is how deep the water is. High and low tide is when the water is washed in and out.
The difference between rock pools high tide and low tide?
at low tide rockpools are pools at high tide they are part of the sea...
What is the largest known horizontal distance between high tide shoreline and low tide shoreline?
The tidal range is the vertical difference between the high tide and the succeeding low tide.
What a neap tide low or high?
No, it's not either of those things. A neap tide is when the difference between low tide and high tide is at a minimum. They occur roughly twice a month, when the moon is at first or third quarter. When the moon is new or full, you get the opposite of a neap tide, a "spring tide", when the difference between low tide and high tide as at a maximum.
What kind of tide has the least difference between low and high tide?
Whatever one is in the middle
What tide has the least difference between low and high tide?
The neap tide. This tide happens when the Moon is at first quarter and last quarter and has the least influence on the tide.
What is the difference between the highest tide and the lowest tide?
It varies from place to place. It is called the Tidal Range.
