Answer:
There is no force that causes the earth ( or any planet ) to rotate. Most of the rotation comes from the conservation of angular momentum. ... The difference in the rotation speed ( and even the tilt of the axis ) of different planets is due to the repeated collisions that occurred during the formation of the solar system.

=> The Moon formed much closer to Earth than it is today. As Earth rotates, the Moon's gravity causes the oceans to seem to rise and fall. (The Sun also does this, but not as much.) There is a little bit of friction between the tides and the turning Earth, causing the rotation to slow down just a little.
