How do waves change as they approach the shore

As waves approach the shore, interaction with the sea floor slows the waves down and the crests of the waves bunch up. They increase in height as the energy in each wave compresses into a shorter horizontal distance, but the period of the wave does not change. Eventually, the waves break.

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction

Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather.

Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.

Where is the Ionosphere located

The ionosphere is located approximately in the same region as the top half of the mesosphere and the entire thermosphere in the upper atmosphere, from about 40 mi (60 km), continuing upward to the magnetosphere.

In which atmosphere layer do humans live most of their lives

Humans live their lives in the troposphere.

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

earths tilt (apex)

What is the zone where most ocean live lives

The sunlight zone. Most animal and plant life use the sun to stay alive. The most plant life is found here. There is life in all zones in the ocean but the sunlight zone has the most.

What causes two distinct pressure zones between equator and the poles

Earths rotation

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

The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.

Which has the lowest albedo

For the same insolation order these regions from highest absorption to lowest.
