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

What is the cause of lightning

Different charges on the ground and the bottom of a cloud The build up of static charges
The buildup of charge in a cloud.

What type of pressure change indicates stormy weather

Decreasing pressure

Which type of cloud is tall and associated with thunderstorms

Cumulonimbus

Which is a type of clouds that creates a uniform flat gray sky

Stratus

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.

Fronts don't flow counterclockwise, although a low does have a counterclockwise spin and frontal systems form off of a low.

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.

What method of forecasting uses averages to predict future weather

climatology method

What type of air mass would produce warm dry weather in the summer

continental tropical

You can locate regions of low wind speed on a weather map by locating what

regions where isobars are spaced far apart

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

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.

Which type of the following is true of clouds at medium altitudes

mostly water

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

which is not part of the recipe for a thunderstorm to form
