Polar jet streams are primarily caused by the interaction of warm and cold air masses. The significant temperature differences between the cold polar air and the warmer air from the mid-latitudes create a strong pressure gradient, leading to the formation of these fast-moving air currents in the atmosphere.
What causes polar jet streams to form? (1 point)
high-pressure systems
warm and cold air masses
rapid changes in wind direction
air masses moving away from each other
