Answer:
- Wind, the earth's rotation, the moon's gravity, and thermal energy from the sun all affect the ocean currents.
- Wind drives the waves (wind itself is usually caused by sun-heated air rising and colder air rushing under it in accordance with the earth's rotation)
- The gravity from the moon pulls the ocean toward it, causing the tides.
- The earth's rotation affects the direction of the currents to some extent.
- The sun's heating of the water affects the current by causing warm water to rise and cold water to rush under it. Thus water sinks and rises according to the season and time of day, causing daily and seasonal changes in the direction and strength of currents.
- Also the shape of the land under and around the water affects how it moves.
