There are two jet streams, a subtropical and a polar-front jet stream.

Jet streams are air currents blowing high above the Earth. These air currents are in the highest part of the atmosphere. Their speeds usually range from 129 to 225 kilometers per hour or 80 to 140 miles per hour. Jet streams are faster in winter when the temperature differences between tropical, temperate, and polar air currents are greater.

At most of the times in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, there are two jet streams: a subtropical jet stream centered at about 30 degrees latitude and a polar-front jet stream whose position varies with the boundary between polar and temperate air. During summer in the Northern Hemispheres, a reverse jet stream blows toward the west in tropical high altitudes.

Determination of fingerprints is an important method used in forensic science.  There are generally three types of fingerprints that are to be determined, namely latent fingerprints, patent fingerprints and plastic fingerprints. There are numerous methods used for the determination of fingerprints. However, most commonly used methods are:

<u>Photography:</u> Photography is direct or straightforward method that is used to determine the patent fingerprints. The image is photographed in a high resolution with the help of forensic measurement scale used as a reference.

<u>Alternate Light Source Method:</u> In this method the light source or LED is used of a particular wavelength in order to determine the latent fingerprints.

<u>Cyanoacrylate:</u> Cyanoacrylate processing is also known as super glue method or fuming method, which involves exposure of cyanoacrylate vapors to the non-porous surface from where the fingerprints are to be obtained.

Which statements correct
sladkih [1.3K]
The correct answer is C. Here's why: 

Choice A is illogical. A single experiment does not confirm a theory as true. Multiple successful trials are needed for one to even consider a hypothesis to be accepted as a theory. 

Choice B is wrong. If a scientist finds a new way to test a hypothesis, experimental methods do change. Note that when there are additional ways to test a hypothesis, a scientist should test it with additional methods. 

Choice D is incorrect. If someone finds a way to test a new hypothesis, it would not be made into law since there is more information regarding the theory. This means that it would remain a theory until one can prove that it can't be tested using different methods.
