A:
QUICK ANSWER
Jet streams, which are rapidly moving ribbons of air 6 to 9 miles above the Earth, influence the weather by separating warm and cold air and pushing weather systems around the globe. The movement of a jet stream affects temperatures and precipitation. Meteorologists describe jet streams as resembling rivers in their flow.



FULL ANSWER
The average jet stream is a band of wind traveling between 120 and 250 miles per hour. Each jet stream is up to several hundred miles wide and thousands of miles long.
Each winter, the polar jet stream moves south and grows stronger as the North Pole grows colder. Each winter, the polar jet stream reaches the United States, influencing weather in much of the country.
Those hiking Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain, sometimes encounter the jet stream in the form of powerful, icy winds. These winds are sometimes so high and cold that they are forced to remain in their tents until they subside.
The subtropical jet stream near the southeastern portion of the U.S. also moves and shifts throughout the year. It tends to have the most dramatic impact when there is an El Niño weather event in effect. During these times, it creates wetter and colder conditions in Florida and Georgia in particular.

You are planning a day of fun in the surf and sun with friends on the beach in Daytona Beach, Florida. You plan to be on the bea
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The expected weather is that of a typical Florida summer day is described below in detail explanation.

Explanation:

In the summer months, the temperature is pretty great at Florida beach. This huge temperature is the outcome of a low degree of cloud ceiling at the beach. The breeze is from the ocean side. In the day time temperature is more prominent over the area and prevails low above the ocean. This occurs in the form of low pressure above the ground and high pressure above the sea. This creates the wind to move from the shores to the ground.

Rain would be probable in the afternoon. This rain would be short-spanned and may come with a thunderstorm.

What predictions can you make for Bhutan's economic future?​
Ainat [17]

Answer:

hope this helps mark as brainlist

Explanation:

In its latest South Asia Economic Focus, Spring 2020, the World Bank estimates that Bhutan’s Real GDP growth in the fiscal year 2020 will decelerate in the range of 2.2 to 2.9 percent depending on how long the pandemic lasts.

Before the pandemic, the country’s growth projection for the year was at 6.5 percent.

The World Bank says that the pandemic will adversely affect agriculture, construction, and export sectors due to disruptions on the supply side such as labour shortages and lower external demand. The trend is likely to continue until the end of 2021.

Growth slowdown in India is expected to dampen external demand, particularly for non-hydro goods and services from Bhutan.

Economic Affairs Minister Loknath Sharma in an earlier interview said that the government was working on minimising the economic impact. Among other measures, the government plans to frontload some of the 12th Plan projects.

The country’s current account deficit is likely to persist given the country’s dependence on essential imports, both for consumption and investment.
