It varies from day to day. Usually there are two in the northern hemisphere and two in the southern. The occur because the Earth's rotational speed at the equator is greater than the speed of sound, while it's zero at the poles.

Fast moving currents of air found near the top of the troposphere are called?
Jet streams~ Rebecca
What are narrow belts of high speed winds?
Jet Streams
What cause of rotation of earth?
jet streams
Where are the jet streams located?
Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow, meandering air currents in the atmospheres of some planets, including Earth. On Earth, the main jet streams are located near the altitude of the tropopause and are westerly winds (flowing west to east).
Narrow belts of strong winds?
jet streams
What are high altitude rivers of air?
you mean jet streams...or thermals?
How many jet streams are there on earth?
There are 4 - a polar and subtropical jet in each hemisphere.

Where are the major jet streams in the ocean?
There are 2 jet streams in the northern hemisphere and 2 in the southern hemisphere. They are known as the subtropical jet stream and the polar jet streams subsequently for get side.
What are high altitude high velocity of air called?
jet streams
What two major jet streams are in the northern hemisphere?
The Polar Jet Stream and the Subtropical Jet Stream are the two strongest jet streams in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere has two major jet streams like the Northern Hemisphere.
How do jet streams create local storms?
Jet Streams are fast blowing winds above the troposphere. The blow at speeds of upto 120kmph. When two jet streams collide it causes storms.
Jet streams generally flow toward the?
The major jet streams on Earth are westerly winds that flow west to east.
What are polar jet streams?
My balls
What are narrow belts of high speed winds?
Jet Streams
Why does a jet stream curve and bend?
Think about it this way. If it was flat then jet streams would be straight. But the Earth is round so jet streams are curved because of the curvature of the Earth.
What are the two jet streams in the northern hemisphere?
mid latitude jet stream and jet stream
