Can a cyclone form over a desert?
no a cyclone can not form over the desert because in order for a cyclone to form it needs the sun to raise the temperature of the sea to the point where it evaporates and the moisture from the water to rise so since the desert sand can not evaporate from the suns heat rays and there is no moisture in the air it is not possible for a cyclone to form

What weather conditions in nature are needed for salinity currents to form?
Wave action, Volcanic activity and land and water erosion are needed to have salinity currents form. Hope this helped@ :)
Why is there a contrast in climate in the either side of the rocky mountain?
As clouds get pushed up by the mountains the pressure drops and the clouds release their moisture in the form of precipitation. Once they get over the mountain tops they are relatively drained of their moisture causing desert like conditions on the other side of the range.
