What are high altitude high velocity of air called?
jet streams
What are the two jet streams in the northern hemisphere?
mid latitude jet stream and jet stream
What are bands of high-speed winds above Earth's surface called?
Jet streams
Where are streams locate?
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).
Why do jet streams have a high velocity?
Because of the high altitude, these winds are not subject to much friction, hence they are faster than winds closer to earth's surface.
What are high altitude rivers of air?
you mean jet streams...or thermals?
Fast moving currents of air found near the top of the troposphere are called?
Jet streams~ Rebecca
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.
What current brings air from the arctic circle southward?
The polar jet streams are circulating air currents around the poles. In the Northern Hemisphere, the jet stream carries air eastward, and can transport Arctic air southward from the north polar vortex into the lower latitudes.
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
What are major influences on the region's climate of russia?
The Arctic and North Atlantic oceans are two factors which affect the climate in European Europe. A climate controller for Europe is the 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.
