Answer:
The earth's atmosphere contains two major 'jet streams' (one in each hemisphere). ... The centrifugal effects of the earth's rotation, often called the Coriolis force, deflect the north-south transport of heat from the equator to the poles into the predominantly east-west motion of the jet stream

Answer:
Jet streams are relatively narrow bands of strong wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere. The winds blow from west to east in jet streams but the flow often shifts to the north and south. Jet streams follow the boundaries between hot and cold air. ... The earth's rotation is responsible for the jet stream as well.
