Differentiate waves and tides and differentiate neap tide and spring tide?

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. Neap tide is weak tide occurring when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendiculare to one another. It occurs during quarter moons. Spring tide is strong time occurring when the earth, the sun and the moon are in a line. It occurs in the full and new moon.
