Fast moving currents of air found near the top of the troposphere are called?

Jet streams. They are high altitude bands of fast-moving air that flow from west to east in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. Jet streams are driven by a combination of temperature gradients, the Earth's rotation, and atmospheric pressure differences.


Which is the layer of the atmosphere has the jet stream?

The jet stream is located in the tropopause, which is the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere. It is a fast-flowing, narrow air current that moves from west to east at high altitudes.

What are fast moving rivers in the ocean?

Fast moving rivers int he ocean are called currents. Currents are caused by the Earth's rotation. An ocean current is continuous.


What are the Narrow belts of fast moving air at high levels or troposphere?

Narrow belts of fast-moving air in the upper levels of the troposphere are known as jet streams. These currents typically flow from west to east and can significantly influence weather patterns by steering storms and affecting temperature distributions. Jet streams are typically found at altitudes of 6 to 12 kilometers (20,000 to 40,000 feet) and are strongest during winter months. Their position and intensity can vary, impacting global climate and localized weather events.


What is the band of wind that travels in the upper troposphere called?

The band of wind that travels in the upper troposphere is called the jet stream. It is a narrow, fast-flowing air current that can have a significant impact on weather patterns and air travel.


What is the name of the fast moving current between north America and Europe?

Does slow moving water cause erosion or fast moving water?

yes and no well it cant cause fast water and it will weather slower then as if water would at a fast current so it will weather just slow.


What flows in the upper troposphere from west to east for thousands of miles?

The jet stream flows in the upper troposphere from west to east for thousands of miles. It is a fast-moving, narrow band of strong winds that can influence weather patterns and the movement of storms.


What are the narrow belts of fast moving air at the higher levels of the troposphere called?

They are called jet streams. They flow from west to east and can have a significant impact on weather patterns.
