The correct option that identifies the two natural wind patterns that move air masses in the United States is **prevailing westerlies and jet streams**.
Prevailing westerlies are the winds that blow from west to east in the mid-latitudes, while jet streams are fast-flowing air currents in the upper atmosphere that can influence weather patterns.
