Question

The jet streams follow the contours of low and high pressure areas (troughs and ridges), which move like waves in the atmosphere across the earth. How does the movement and effects of the polar jet stream change when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere?

Options:

A) The polar jet stream dips south because the equator cools. This dip causes increased tropical precipitation.

B) The polar jet stream moves south and becomes stronger because the North Pole gets colder but the equator warms up. The two jet streams cancel each other out.

C) The polar jet stream bumps into the stronger tropical jet stream. The tropical air pushes the polar jet stream northward and the average temperatures increase.

D) The polar jet stream moves south and becomes stronger because the North Pole gets colder but the equator stays the same temperature. The strengthened polar jet stream dips farther south.

Answer 1

Answer:

your answer is

C) The polar jet stream bumps into the stronger tropical jet stream. The tropical air pushes the polar jet stream northward and the average temperatures increase

Answer 2

Answer:

option:C

Explanation:

C) The polar jet stream bumps into the stronger tropical jet stream. The tropical air pushes the polar jet stream northward and the average temperatures increase.
