Which process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

There are several. The main ones are:

  • Photosynthesis
  • Carbonate formation
  • Dissolution of carbon dioxide into seawater
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.

earths tilt (apex)

What causes a valley breeze

The sides of the valley heating more quickly than the air around it

What are the important characteristics of a mild climate zone

a damp time of climate zone

What causes two distinct pressure zones between equator and the poles

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.

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.
