A fast-moving air mass that is very high in the atmosphere and moves from west to east is called a "jet stream." Jet streams are narrow bands of strong winds that occur at altitudes of around 10 kilometers (about 33,000 feet) in the atmosphere. They play a significant role in influencing weather patterns and the movement of storm systems.

What are fast moving bands of winds that blow high in the atmosphere called?

Fast-moving bands of winds that blow high in the atmosphere are called "jet streams." These narrow, powerful air currents typically occur at altitudes of about 30,000 feet and can influence weather patterns and systems across the globe. Jet streams flow from west to east and can vary in strength and position, affecting temperature and precipitation in the regions below.


Which direction does the earth move eastwards or westwards?

The earth moves from west to east; it moves eastward. This is why we observe the sun rising in the east. We are moving toward it. From the north, we would see this as a counter-clockwise rotation of the earth on its axis.

Jet stream :) Study island question . I know how it feels when you get stuck on a question and the lesson doesn't help at all especially science. People should copy all the answers so life could be more easier. Just saying. Hope i helped you and have good days ahead of you.


Middle latitude weather moves in what direction?

It generally moves from the west, though it can even move from the east for short periods. This is due to the prevailing winds, The Westerlies, coming out of the west. This is a result of air that is generally moving poleward, whereupon it is deflected by the coriolis force.


What is the name of the winds that push weather west to east across the us found in the upper atmosphere?

It is called the TRADE WINDS.


Why doesn't the earth move when we stand on it?

It is moving. The earth and it's atmosphere are turning from west to east at about 1,100 miles an hour, 24/7 due to earth's rotation. We don't have any particular sensation of moving because of how big the earth is.


The fast moving river of air high in the atmosphere is called the?

jet stream. It is a narrow band of strong winds that blow from west to east in the upper atmosphere, typically found between 30,000 and 39,000 feet above the Earth's surface. The jet stream plays a crucial role in guiding weather systems and influencing the movement of storms.
