What lies along the subtropical jet stream

High or low pressure lies along the subtropical jet stream, depending on the time of year. The pressure gradient follows the path of the jet stream.

Which process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

There are several. The main ones are:

  • Photosynthesis
  • Carbonate formation
  • Dissolution of carbon dioxide into seawater
What happens in a stationary front

A cold air mass and a warm air mass meet, with neither moving.
During a stationary front the weather will stay the same for several days or more than a week. It depends on what type of front is making the other front stationary.

What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the poles

earths tilt (apex)

One danger of excessive nitrogen levels in water is

eutrophication

Put the steps of the nitrogen cycle in order starting with the step that removes nitrogen from the atmosphere

N2 molecules break apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Other living entities such as plants and animals ingest nitrogen in nitrate-containing compounds. Organic matter decays via decomposers.

N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.

What atmospheric area lies roughly along the equator

intertropical convergence zone
The Intertropical Convergence Zone lies roughly along the equator. This zone is made up of a band of clouds, usually thunderstorms, that circle the Earth near the equator.

Is the Intertropical Convergence Zone also known as the doldrums

Question: The doldrums happen in a zone known as the what?

Answer: intertropical convergence zone

What is the difference of the causes between a sea breeze and a land breeze

The only difference - is the direction of flow. A sea breeze blows from the sea onto the land. A land breeze flows in the opposite direction.
