Like the title says how are oceanic waves created? I am vaguely familiar with how temperature creates currants in the ocean, but is this what helps create ocean waves?

Take a glass, or maybe a small bowl, and fill it with water. Now blow hard on it. You’ve created tiny waves. Ocean waves are mostly created by wind.
Now shake the bowl with your hands. You’ve created a tiny Tsunami (eg. underwater earthquake).
Finally simply create an extremely dense object and hover it above the bowl of water and move it around. As the gravity of the object pulls on the water you’ve created tidal waves (eg. the moons orbit affect the ocean levels).
