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.

What Anatomy of a sponge causes the water flow though it?
goblinko [34]

The anatomy of sponge which causes water to flow through it is the poriferan  ventilation general anatomy.

Sponges do not have nerves or muscles and they do not move their only way which is relying on water flow in order to remove movement of sperm, remove gas exchange, remove wastes, and bringing food.

Because of architecture of sponge and action of choanocytes then the flow of water is being utilized efficiently by the sponge.

Water flows to spongocoel and to sponge through small openings which are found in the sponge, and out of sponge through Osculum which are the large openings.
