Partially. The pressure difference between warm air near equator and cold air near arctic causes air to rise at equator travel north to arctic then down and south back to equator. The rotation of the earth bends that north-south belt - faster at the equator than at the slower rotation at arctic. The result of both is the jet stream.

How do you use jet stream in a sentence?
A jet stream of water shot out of the hose.
Why is jet stream important?
a jet stream is important because of climate control
What convectional cell in the atmosphere connects the polar jet stream and the subtropical jet stream?
Ferrel.
In which layer of the atmosphere is the jet stream located?
The jet stream is located in the tropopause. This is the layer between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The jet stream is very strong wind that blows eastward.
What is isotachs contours?
These are lines of equal wind speed. They are most often contoured in the upper levels of the atmosphere, especially at the jet stream level. They are important for locating the jet stream and jet streaks within a jet stream
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.
What is caused by the rotation of earth?
The Earth's rotation causes night and day.
What determined the direction of storm movement?
ok. it is not only the jet stream, but the earths rotation, wind, heat currents, and believe it or not, ocean temps. Warm air rises at the equator, moves north(northern hemisphere) and sinks as it cools. This type of convection current continues to the poles. Therefore creating the jet stream and the earths rotation makes our weather work. The ocean temps. determine how much humidity can be released into the air. Also check the weather channel site and ask them also.
What winds control the jet stream?
Wind doesn't control the jet stream; this is controlled by something much more complex. It has to do with the mass balance of the atmosphere, vertically propagating waves, and the earth's rotation.
What are the bands of high speed winds about ten kilometers above earths surface are the?
The jet stream
What bands of high speed winds about 10 kilometers above earths surface called?
The jet stream.
Which is stronger polar jet stream or subtropical jet stream?
Polar jet stream is stronger.
What is the bands of high speed winds about 10 kilometers above earths surface?
The answer is jet stream, answered by a sixth grader
What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?
The jet stream
What are high altitude winds caused by temperature differences between air masses?
Jet Stream
How are the jet stream and the gulf stream different?
A gulf stream is water ,and a jet stream is air.
Where is the jet stream located?
The jet stream is located in the stratosphere.
