The high-speed winds located between 7 km and 16 km above Earth's surface are known as the "jet streams." These fast-flowing air currents typically form at the boundaries of different air masses, such as between the polar and tropical regions. Jet streams can significantly influence weather patterns and are generally stronger in winter. They flow from west to east and can reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour (320 km/h).
