How will a wind blowing to the north in the Northern Hemisphere be affected by the Coriolis effect

It will bend to the west

Which process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere rather than adding it

I know photosynthisis takes away some and turns it into oxygen that we breate in and convert to nitrogen.

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

Stratus

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.

Which layer of the atmosphere contains the ionosphere and what are the ionosphere's characteristics

The thermosphere contains the ionosphere.

The ionosphere is the layer that is ionized by the solor radiation.

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

Which step is not part of a normal convection cycle apex

Warmed air sinks, creating a high-pressure area as it falls.

^ Not Quite

Warmed air rises, creating a high-pressure system below

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.

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 statement is true of jet streams

The polar jet stream lies between the polar easterlies and trade winds

sometimes upper level winds cause a blank front to break up ending days of gray skies

occluded
