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.

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.

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

earths tilt (apex)

What causes a valley breeze

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

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.

Which ofthe following is a reason the human population is growing exponentially
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 has the lowest albedo

A blacktop highway

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