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

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction

Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather.

Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.

What inturment is used to measure then wind

The instrument which is used to measure wind is a anemometer. This tool is used to determine the direction in which the wind is blowing.

Which type of cloud is tall and associated with thunderstorms

Cumulonimbus

What is a name for a front that spirals counter clockwise in the nothern hemisphere

A front that spirals counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere is called an occluded front.

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.
