Question

7. What is jet stream? Write any three characteristics of the Jet stream.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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). Their paths typically have a meandering shape.

•Jet streams are caused by a combination of a planet's rotation on it's axis and atmospheric heating (by solar radiation and, on some planets other than, internal heat).

•The southern polar jet streams mostly circle Antartica and sometimes the Southern tip of South America. The term jet streams in these contexts thus usually implies the nothern polar jet stream.
