The geological makeup of the Earth to begin with! It isnt a perfectly balanced orb. Secondly, the orbit of the moon and any other objects in the solar system with enough mass. Get your toy top out. A top is not a perfectly balanced object. It would be impossible to attain this. Spin the top and watch its balance decay. Same principle.
