Almost all weather fronts in north america are pushed from west to east by the?
Jet streams.
What are high altitude rivers of air?
you mean jet streams...or thermals?
Why does a jet stream curve and bend?
Think about it this way. If it was flat then jet streams would be straight. But the Earth is round so jet streams are curved because of the curvature of the Earth.
What effects do jet streams have on US weather?
The jet streams generally have a moderating effect on US weather. The rapidly moving cold air helps to create weather fronts by altering pressure and precipitation relationships. Even though the jet streams reside above 10,000 ft , they impact surface conditions through complicated relationships of changes in barometric pressure, temperature, and relative humidity.
What is a jet stream in weather?
Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow air currents found at the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with height) and the stratosphere (where temperature increases with height) and are located at 10-15 kilometers above the surface of the Earth.They form near boundaries of adjacent air masses with significant differences in temperature. They tend to flow west to east and are often lower in the winter within the United States.The weather service for aviation considers sustained winds of 50 knots to be the beginning of the jet stream. In the winter, the jet stream in North America tends to dip lower then the summer months and the isobars get tighter. Tighter isobars mean more significant lower winds, thus a lower jet stream.Jet streams tend to assist aircraft flying east and slow aircraft heading westerly.Jet Stream are narrow bands of strong winds that blow near the top of the troposphere. High speed, high altitude winds.a fast ribbon of air that travels around the earth
What does the jet streams do?
The jet stream is essentially where the two different layers of atomsphere meet together. It influences the weather very drasticly by changing what kind of fronts and the severity of those fronts. Also jet streams are used in the aviation industry alot. To increase fuel effeciency in planes.

Jet streams.
What is a weather system?
Weather System: The Weather System is made out of jet streams, fronts, temperatures, precipitation, and air.

What makes the curved shape of the Jet Stream?
jet streams are curved because the earth is spinning.
Fast moving currents of air found near the top of the troposphere are called?
Jet streams~ Rebecca

Why do weather fronts move west to east?
Yes because of the jet stream.
What does the jet stream do to the air?
Jet streams give off chemicals that penetrate the air and trickle down to where we breathe. Streams also affect the weather because of the jets high speed, potentially causing storms and tornadoes if two jet streams intersect.
Where are the major jet streams in the ocean?
There are 2 jet streams in the northern hemisphere and 2 in the southern hemisphere. They are known as the subtropical jet stream and the polar jet streams subsequently for get side.
Why are jet streams important?
Because they contribute to worldwide weather patterns.
