What is the difference between the Gulf Stream and the Jet Stream?

The Gulf Stream is a powerful, warm, and swift Atlantic ocean current that originates at the tip of Florida, and flows around the world acting as a 'conveyor belt' of warm water along the ocean surface. A jet stream however is defined as a current of rapidly moving air that is usually several thousand miles long and wide, but is relatively thin. They are found in the upper levels of Earth's atmosphere at the tropopause - the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere. Both are hugely important in the Earth's climate.

Which is stronger polar jet stream or subtropical 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.


What statement is true of jet streams A. The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and polar easterlies. B. The subtropical jet stream flows to the east while the polar jet stream flows?

A. The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and polar easterlies; this statement is true. B. The polar jet stream typically flows to the east, while the subtropical jet stream flows towards the west.

What does a Gulf Stream look like?

The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean. To the naked eye it looks no different from any other stretch of ocean. In thermal imaging it is visible as a band of warm water going up the U.S. east coast, often with large but gentle vortices along its sides. A gulf stream jet is a twin engined plane with a high tail and low-set swept-back wings.

Where does the Gulf Stream get its warmth?

the gulf stream gets its warmth from the tropics


What are Gulf Stream rings are caused by?

The Gulf Stream ring is formed when Gulf Stream meanders break off the Stream to create independent circulatory systems. Because of the formation of this ring, the warm tropical water from south of the Gulf Stream can be moved to north of the Gulf Stream.


What is the difference between a continental jet stream and a polar jet stream?

A continental jet-stream travels parallel to the equator - a polar jet-stream travels in a north/south direction.
