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.

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 is the name for runaway plant growth because of excess nitrogen

Eutrophication

A patch of ground in direct sunlight will have what a patch of ground shaded by clouds

cow penis

Which of the following is the most abundant gas in our atmosphere

oxygen

I started to leave this because it is the wrong answer.

What would occur if the earth was tilted

The Earth is tilted, and it causes seasons.

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

Earths rotation

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.

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

Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents.

* While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.
