What are high speed winds and high altitudes known as?
I think it is winds,speed, and altitude
Where do global winds and pressure systems exist?
Global winds and pressure systems exist at the surface and at high altitudes. Surface winds include trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. High altitude winds include high speed winds (which are often called jet streams). These high speed winds blow from the east in the low latitudes and from the west in the middle and high latitudes. Although local and seasonal variations occur, the wind and pressure patterns are generally predictable on the global scale. The high altitude wind and surface wind motions are related to each other.
What are narrow bands of fast high-altitude westerly winds?
Jet Streams
What is the name for a small storm that forms when a thunderstorm meets high-altitude horizontal winds?
The answer is Tornadoes :)
What are very large tropical cyclones with high winds called?
hurricanes
What are altitude high velocity winds?
Jet Streams.
What are high-altitude westerly winds called?
prevailing winds?
Why do jet streams have such a high velocity?
Because of the high altitude, these winds are not subject to much friction, hence they are faster than winds closer to earth's surface.

Are the winds in jet streams the only high altitude winds?
No. High altitude winds are certainly strongest in the jets streams, but there is other wind.
