Answer:

Jet streams are like rivers of wind high above in the atmosphere. These slim strips of strong winds have a huge influence on climate, as they can push air masses around and affect weather patterns. The jet streams on Earth typically run from west to east, and their width is relatively narrow compared to their length.

Answer:

Jet streams are like rivers of wind high above in the atmosphere. These slim strips of strong winds have a huge influence on climate, as they can push air masses around and affect weather patterns. The jet streams on Earth typically run from west to east, and their width is relatively narrow compared to their length.

Jet streams are the narrow belt of high altitude westerly winds in the troposphere. They blow at a fast speed of about 110km/h in summers to about 184km/h in winters.

The westerly jet streams are responsible for bringing western cyclonic disturbances to north west India resulting in rainfall in winters.

The easterly jet stream blowing over north India result in the creation of tropic depressions. The latter play a significant role in the distribution of rainfall in the country.
