What are the bands of high speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere are called?
jetstreams
What is the narrow belt of strong winds called?
The troposphere
What types of wind are trade winds?
Trade winds are found in the tropics in the lower section of the troposphere near the Earth's equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the north-east in the Northern Hemisphere and from the south-east in the Southern Hemisphere.
What are four basic spheres found on or above earth?
Asthenosphere-Upper mantle Lithosphere-Upper mantle & lower crust Troposphere-Low air sphere Stratosphere-Higher air sphere
Why does the surface wind show more complicated flow patterns than the upper-level winds?
Surface winds have to flow around such things as buildings and mountains. Upper-level winds have no 'obstructions' to alter their path.
Which winds are found in the upper troposphere?
Jet Streams
What are quickly moving winds that flow in the upper troposphere?
Jetstreams
What are the bands of high speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere are called?
jetstreams
What are narrow bands of high speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere called?
jetstreams
What are narrow belts of strong winds near the tops of the troposphere called?
Jet streams are found in the upper troposphere - these are high velocity air flows that follow a curved path moving west-to-east around the globe.Narrow belts of strong winds are called jet streams. Jet streams blow near the top of the troposphere. The thin layer of air that surrounds the Earth is called the atmosphere.
What are narrow belts of high speed winds?
Jet Streams
What are narrow bands of high-speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere called?
The Jet Stream.
How do jet streams differ from wind in the lower atmosphere?
JET Streams.The winds of the upper troposphere are quite different from the winds in the lower troposphere.They are stronger and blow in a different direction, mostly out of the west
What do the streamers of cirrus clouds show?
The streamers of cirrus clouds have strong winds that often blow streamers. The features show the direction of the wind in the upper Troposphere.
What is the narrow belt of strong winds called?
The troposphere
Do jet stream occur in the mesosphere?
No. The jet stream is in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
What is the name of the winds that push weather west to east across the us found in the upper atmosphere?
It is called the TRADE WINDS.
