The first one is in present continues, because is an action that continues in the time, and the other is in present simple, and is an action that you do for a long time every day or not.

    The difference between the two questions is that the first of them refers to what the person is doing right now, and the second one is about the routine that a person has, something that is usually.

    For example: Now, I'm commenting on the blog. Every day I go to the university and gym.

    1. "What are you doing?" refers to the moment.
    2. And “What do you do?” refers to the daily life.

    1). I am doing English homework and drinking mate.
    2). I go to the University every day, and at the weekends I visit my family.

    The difference is that "what are you doing? refers to the activity in the moment that you're doing it, not after or before. And "what do you do?" refers to activities that you do every day.

    Now I'm doing this English exercise. I go to the University every days.

  9. What´s the difference between: "What are you doing?" and "What do you do?"
    What are you doing? this question is in present continous tense. It refers to the things which are happening at this moment. And: What do you do? has connection with all the things that are used to be made daily.

    ~ "What are you doing?" --> It refers to the moment you are doing something.
    For example: "I'm doing my homework (right now)"

    ~ "What do you do?" --> It refers with all the things that we are used to doing daily.
