The main driving force is wind, but it is also affected by the earths rotation, solar energies, and gravity.

The forces that are responsible are Horizontal Surface Currents. They can be unpredictable.
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
convection currents in the mantle provide the basic driving forces for plate motions.
The layer of the Earth where convection currents occur is the mantle. These currents are generated by the heat from the Earth's core, causing movement in the semi-fluid mantle material. The movement of these convection currents is one of the driving forces behind the movement of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.
Wind, waves, and currents are forces that can affect the stability and rigidity of a mast on a boat or ship. Additionally, mechanical stress from the rigging and sails can also impact the mast's structure over time.
There are generally 4 forces which affect an object. These are: - weight force - the force acting downwards on the object - normal reaction force - the force acting upwards on the object - driving force - the force pushing the object on the horizontal plane (ie. left/right) - friction force (including air resistance) - the force pushing the object in the opposite direction to the driving force
The energy from the moon primarily causes the ocean tides through gravitational forces, rather than winds and ocean currents. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which creates differences in air pressure that lead to the movement of air. Ocean currents are mainly driven by a combination of wind, temperature, salinity, and the shape of the ocean basins.
