Step-by-step explanation:

Biological in the ocean is affected by the water cycle via the Mixed Layer Depth and Run off from land. Salinity and temperature determine the density of ocean water, and density influences the circulation. E-P determines surface salinity of the ocean, which helps determine the stability of the water column.

Gravity pulls denser air and water downward, forcing less dense air and water to move upward. The warm water near the surface of the ocean heats up with sunlight and evaporates, keeping the water cycle in motion.

Have a nice day :)
