Earth's Tilt
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.

Earth's Tilt
Uneven heating between the poles and the equator creates temperature and pressure differences, leading to the formation of global wind patterns and ocean currents. This ultimately drives weather systems and climate across the Earth.
Uneven heating of Earth and its atmosphere causes air to move, leading to the formation of winds, storms, and weather patterns. This process is known as atmospheric circulation and is driven by the redistribution of heat from the equator to the poles.

Water waves are caused by the wind, which is directly caused by the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun.

Pole. (The north and south poles. They get less heat than the equator because the sun's rays hit the equator more directly where they hit the poles at an angle and have to be spread over a larger area.)
