The wind.
Waves, no. Currents, yes. There are a number of different subsurface currents in the oceans, however most of the water moved in such a way in the oceans of the world is referred to as "the Great Ocean Conveyor." This is explained in great detail at the related link below.
Most ocean waves obtain thier energy and motion from
The immediate source of most energy moving ocean currents is wind. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun.
wind (windswell) and earthquakes
heey can ue find this answer for mehh plz it is my work for literacy

The oceans are the source of most of the humidity in the atmosphere. They also have more mild temperatures than the land, and thus cool or warm coastal areas. Ocean currents effect the temperatures of nearby land masses (cool currents make the land cooler, warm currents make the land warmer).
Most surface waves are caused by the wind blowing over the surface of the water, creating ripples and waves. Other factors that can cause surface waves include seismic activity, tides, and underwater landslides.

The winds most involved in forming ocean currents are the global wind patterns, such as the trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. These winds drive the surface waters of the oceans, creating ocean currents that can transport heat, nutrients, and marine life around the globe.
