What part does solar radiation play in the hydrologic cycle?

Sun ensures that evaporation occurs keeps the cycle going

What causes the Coriolis Effect and what part does it play in wind and ocean movement?

rotation of Earth, NH - clockwise, SH - counterclockwise

What is condensation?

water vapor converted into tiny droplets of water

Sun heating up water and changing it into water vapor

How does salinity work with convection to ensure equal heating of the Earth's oceans?

higher salinity - warm water sinks, cold water rises

What part does gravity play in the hydrologic cycle?

Brings precipitation to Earth and water absorbed into ground
