Most of the energy used on Earth ultimately comes from the Sun; the two major exceptions are:* Tidal energy - here, the energy comes from Earth's rotation.
* Geothermal energy - here, the energy comes mainly from radioactive decay in Earth's interior.

What is the driving force behind the water cycling?
The sun/solar energy is the driving force behind the water cycle.
What cycle is bacteria the driving force behind?
The sun/solar energy is the driving force behind the water cycle.
What is the driving force behind the water cycle?
The sun/solar energy is the driving force behind the water cycle.
Is the sun a driving force behind the water cycle why or why not?
yes because the sun energy help the water cycle
What is the ultimate source of water cycle?
The ultimate source of the energy driving it is that coming from the Sun.
What is the main source of energy for convection in atmosphere and the ocean?
The Sun is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans. The Sun, heat radiated form the Sun is the main source of energy driving convection in the atmosphere and oceans. There is also a small input form geothermal energy.

Is need for energy gained by respiration and photosynthesis is the driving force of the oxygen cycle?
main driving factor of the oxygen cycle is photosynthesis

What does the energy obtained from the sun do to the water molecules?
It heats them, sometimes driving a phase change, sometimes just driving convection currents. In the upper atmosphere, energetic UV from the Sun will actually break them apart.
What does radiant energy from the sun do to earth?
It warms the surface, driving weather patterns, and provides light for photosynthesis.
