Jet lagis also known as

time zone change syndromeor

desynchronosis. Jet lag can occur when people travel rapidly from east to west, or west to east on a jet plane. It is a physiological condition which upsets our body's circadian rhythms - hence, it is classified as a circadian rhythm disorder. Jet lag symptoms tend to be more severe when the person travels from westward compared to eastward.

Is Coriolis effect caused by a jet stream?

No, the Coriolis effect is not caused by a jet stream; rather, it is a result of the Earth's rotation. As the Earth spins, different latitudes travel at varying speeds, causing moving objects, such as air masses, to curve instead of moving in a straight line. This effect influences wind patterns, including jet streams, but it is not caused by them. Jet streams are high-altitude, fast-moving air currents that are influenced by the Coriolis effect among other factors.


What is a description of jet lag?

Jet lag is a disruption of the body's internal clock caused by rapid travel across multiple time zones. Common symptoms include fatigue, difficulty sleeping, irritability, and poor concentration. It typically takes a few days for the body to adjust to the new time zone and reset its internal clock.

does air traffic affect the jet stream?

No, air traffic does not directly affect the jet stream. The jet stream is a high-altitude wind current caused by the rotation of the Earth and atmospheric pressure differences. While air traffic can contribute to localized weather patterns, it does not significantly impact the behavior or strength of the jet stream.


Do jet engines stall?

yes its caused by the air flowing to slow over the wing or if the angle of attack is to high and this causes turbulence


Your boyfriend was at a party and his ex showed up he said he was upset about it but jet he danced with her and even took pics of them is he cheating on you?

It isn't cheating, but he should be considerate of your emotions. Confront him about it and ask why he did this. Then tell him you are uncomfortable with what he did.


What are high altitude winds caused by temperature differences between air masses?

High altitude winds, such as the jet stream, are caused by temperature differences between air masses. These temperature contrasts create pressure gradients, which drive the movement of air at high altitudes. The jet stream, for example, forms where contrasting temperature air masses meet in the upper atmosphere, creating a fast-flowing ribbon of air that influences weather patterns.
