Answer:

The drag from wind holds the responsibility for driving ocean waves in addition to the surface tension.

Explanation:

The ocean currents at the first 100 m of its surface is moved by the wind drag.  Whereas, the ocean currents flowing below the thousand meters of its surface are driven by water's density gradient, which is governed by thermohaline circulation, 'thermo' means temperature and 'haline' means salinity. The centrifugal force has no role to do in driving the ocean current in its surface and earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect which is an example of hurricane winds.
