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
Is the saying the higher the clouds the better the weather true

High clouds indicate the dry air and high pressure of fair weather.

so it is true

In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect makes winds

bend to the right of their motion

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.

Which layer of the atmosphere contains the ionosphere and what are the ionosphere's characteristics

The thermosphere contains the ionosphere.

The ionosphere is the layer that is ionized by the solor radiation.

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

When a cold air mass catches up to a warm air mass its called a what

When a cold FRONT catches up to a warm FRONT it is called an occluded front.

When a cold AIR MASS displaces a warmer AIR MASS it is a cold front.
Occluded front

What layer in the atmosphere has the highest temperature

thermosphere

In which layer of the atmosphere does most of Earth's weather occur

The Troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, is where most of our weather occurs. The troposphere extends from the surface of the Earth upwards to a height that varies from about 9 km (or 30,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (or 56,000 ft) at the equator.

What condition is required for all thunderstorms

For starters, the thing you will need for all storms is Low Air Pressure. So you will always need this for all thunderstorms.

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.

Which gas in the atmosphere is the second most abundant gas

the most second abundant gas is oxygen

What statement is true about true of jet streams

The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream

How does region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information

How does a region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information?

Hpow do the conditions in the united states change when the jet stream moves north

It gets warmer-Apex

Which statement is true of jet streams

The polar jet stream lies between the polar easterlies and trade winds
