Deep ocean circulation(90% of ocean water) is caused by differences in temperature, salinity and suspended load. It is referred to as "Thermohaline"- meaning heat and salt- circulation.
There is no "driving force". The tectonic plates created an oceanic/oceanic subvergent boundary where underwater volcanoes formed. The magma comes up through faults and cracks in the lithosphere from the astenosphere and comes out of the volcanoes. I suppose you could say the "driving force" is the heat from the center of the earth heating the rock to a liquid state.
The force driving the process of pulling dense pieces of oceanic crust downward towards the mantle is gravity. As oceanic crust cools and becomes denser, it sinks into the mantle due to gravitational forces. This process is known as subduction.
The driving force for seafloor spreading is the movement of tectonic plates. As magma rises from the mantle to the surface at mid-ocean ridges, it creates new oceanic crust which pushes the existing plates apart, causing seafloor spreading. This process is part of the larger theory of plate tectonics.
Competition would be the driving force of exclusion
The main driving force in subduction zones is the gravitational pull on the dense oceanic crust as it subducts beneath less dense continental crust or another oceanic plate. This process is further facilitated by the negative buoyancy of the cold, dense oceanic lithosphere compared to the underlying mantle. Additionally, the sinking of the oceanic crust is also driven by the forces exerted by the movement of the tectonic plates at the surface.

The force on the lithosphere from the asthenosphere below due to cooling and sinking rock is called slab pull. This force is one of the driving mechanisms behind plate tectonics, where the denser oceanic lithosphere sinks into the mantle, pulling the rest of the plate along with it.
Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.
Tectonic plates are pulled apart by the process of seafloor spreading, where magma rises from the mantle to create new oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges. This creates a divergent boundary where plates move away from each other. The driving force behind this movement is the upwelling of magma and the force of gravity pulling denser oceanic crust down and away from mid-ocean ridges.

Anti-communist paranoia was the driving force.
The sun/solar energy is the driving force behind the water cycle.
