Jet streams are high-elevation "rivers" of air that travel between 120 and 240 kilometers (75 and 150 miles) per hour in a west-to-east direction, basically, it is a type of wind that is in the upper part of the troposphere or in the lower stratosphere, commercial aviation takes advantage of jet streams to travel long distances as they significantly reduce the journey's duration and also fuel consumption. It is like an air highway. That is why flights from North America to Europe last less than those from the opposite direction.

The igneous rock gabbro most likely formed
weeeeeb [17]

Slowly, deep underground

The igneous rock gabbro is coarse grained and non-vesicular. Both characteristics show that it is an intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below Earth's surface and slowly (because they're underground). When rocks are intrusive, they are are non-vesicular (no air pockets) because the air has had the time to escape because of the slow cooling time period. Intrusive rocks are also coarse because crystals had the time to form in the rock during that longer cooling time.

Ps. extrusive igneous rocks form rapidly at Earth's surface and basically have tge opposite characteristics for the opposite reasons (ex: vesicular cause air had little time to escape)
