It’s caused from the temperature difference between our warm equator and cold poles. High pressure at the warm tropics wants to flow toward the low pressure at the cold poles, but the Earth's spin deflects these winds to the east so that they make a circle around the globe (in both hemispheres) moving west to east at mid-latitudes.

Why do weather fronts move west to east?
Yes because of the jet stream.
Which way does a jet stream flow?
The jet stream goes from west to east in the northern hemisphere. It goes from east to west in the southern hemisphere. the usa get weather from the south due to the southn weather driftting into the northern hemisphere
How do weather fronts move across the earth from west to east?
It's mainly due to the Jet stream - a high-speed 'corridor' of air that flows around the planet at high altitude. Additionally - the planet rotates from east to west.
High pressure band of air blowing from west to east?
monsoon
What direction do high and low pressure areas travel in the US?
Due to the Coriolis Effect, low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere spiral inwards in a counter clockwise direction. This is due to the Coriolis force, which causes a body in a rotating frame to move in a perpendicular motion to the axis of rotation.
Why do weather fronts move west to east?
Yes because of the jet stream.
How do an jet stream gain speed?
why do you think airplanes traveling in the jet stream gain speed going from west to east but lose speed from east to west
The polar jet stream moves from?
east to west
What two terms are used to describe storms that move from west to east in the middle latitudes pushed by the jet stream flow?
Westerlies
What two terms are used to describes storms that move from west to east in the middle -latitudes pushed by the jet stream flow?
Westerlies
Is it quicker to fly east to west or vice versa?
I believe East to West because the Jet Stream goes towards the East.!!
General direction of flow of the jet stream is toward the?
west to east
What is the wind called that blows across US from west to east?
Jet stream
What is a high pressure band of air blowings from west to east?
jet stream
What flows in the upper troposphere from west to east for thousands of miles?
the jet stream
Which of these is a high pressure band of air blowing from west to east?
jet stream
Which way does a jet stream flow?
The jet stream goes from west to east in the northern hemisphere. It goes from east to west in the southern hemisphere. the usa get weather from the south due to the southn weather driftting into the northern hemisphere
