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.

Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature of all the atmosphere layers

The thermosphere is the first layer of the atmosphere where there are enough heavier molecules (oxygen) to absorb a significant anount of the Sun's radiation. Below the thermosphere, much of the heat is dissipated by convective currents.
Although technically "hot", the gas in the thermosphere is so thin that it can pass little heat to other molecules, and loss of heat by radiation would still cool objects in this part of the atmosphere.
the sun's radiation strikes it first

Do stage directions include sleeping

no stage directions are the directions or places on stage to stand or cross to.

In what way does ocean water move globally

Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.

What usually accompanies a cold spell in Minnesota

Minnesota receives arctic air when the polar jet stream moves south across Canada.

What causes a valley breeze

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

Why do oceanographers take measurements of the conductivity of the seawater

Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.

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 removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere acting as a carbon sink

Formation of carbonates in the ocean
* Formation of carbonates in the ocean * Any green plants, so forests, rainforests, timber plantations.
Photosynthesis.

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

cow penis

What cool region underneath cloud cover will have a region with no cloud cover

A higher pressure than

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.

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

as s hold

What of following causes tornadoes

coo,dy air meeting warm, moist air

Which statement is true of jet streams

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