Question

What causes polar jet streams to form?(1 point) Responses air masses moving away from each other air masses moving away from each other high-pressure systems high-pressure systems rapid changes in wind direction rapid changes in wind direction warm and cold air masses

Answer 1

colliding

Answer 2

thats not an option

Answer 3

My apologies for the oversight. The correct answer is: rapid changes in wind direction.

Answer 4

are you sure?

Answer 5

I apologize for the confusion. The formation of polar jet streams is primarily caused by the temperature contrast between cold polar air masses and warmer air masses in the mid-latitudes. This temperature gradient leads to rapid changes in wind direction and speed, which ultimately result in the formation of jet streams.
