Which is stronger polar jet stream or subtropical jet stream?

The polar jet stream is generally stronger and faster-moving than the subtropical jet stream. The polar jet stream forms at higher latitudes and is located closer to the poles, while the subtropical jet stream is located at lower latitudes. The polar jet stream is associated with larger temperature contrasts and stronger pressure gradients, resulting in stronger winds compared to the subtropical jet stream.

A curve in a stream channel?

A curve in a stream channel is called a meander. Meanders are caused by the flow of water eroding the outside of a bend and depositing sediment on the inside, leading to a winding pattern in the channel.
