During a stationary front the weather will stay the same for several days or more than a week. It depends on what type of front is making the other front stationary.

What usually accompanies a cold spell in Minnesota

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

In the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect makes winds

bend to the right of their motion

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.

Warmed air rises, creating a high-pressure system below

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.
