The material ejected by the Eyjafjallajökull volcano was sent so high into the atmosphere - that the jet stream 'caught' the ash particles - spreading them over a much wider area than a 'normal' eruption.
The volcanic eruption spewed gas and material so high into the air that the jet stream was diverted. The skunk spewed gas and I ran.
The jet stream
The polar jet stream is generally stronger and faster-moving than the subtropical jet stream. The polar jet stream forms at higher latitudes and is located closer to the poles, while the subtropical jet stream is located at lower latitudes. The polar jet stream is associated with larger temperature contrasts and stronger pressure gradients, resulting in stronger winds compared to the subtropical jet stream.
A continental jet-stream travels parallel to the equator - a polar jet-stream travels in a north/south direction.

No. The jet stream is in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.

a jet stream is important because of climate control

It is false that a plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream.
