A. are intermittent during the summer months
B. are turbulent wind currents that slow air travel
C. are pockets of hot and humid air
D. are high speed winds, 10 km above the ground

Answer 1

Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow, meandering air currents in the atmospheres of some planets, including Earth near the tropapouse.

So the answer is D.

Answer 2

The correct option is, (D) are high speed winds, 10 km above the ground.

What is the direction of jet streams?

• 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.

What is the jet stream and is it related to the westerlies?

• 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).

What is the difference between westerlies and jet streams?

• So jet streams flow from west to east in both the hemispheres and hence they are called westerlies or upper level westerlies.
• Jet streams when weak move in the direction of westerlies in a wavy irregular manner with a poleward or equator ward component.
