<span>Jet streams are the major means of transport for weather systems. A jet stream is an area of strong winds ranging from 120-250 mph that can be thousands of miles long, a couple of hundred miles across and a few miles deep. Jet streams usually sit at the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere at a level called the tropopause. This means most jet streams are about 6-9 miles off the ground. Figure A is a cross section of a jet stream.

The dynamics of jet streams are actually quite complicated, so this is a very simplified version of what creates jets. The basic idea that drives jet formation is this: a strong horizontal temperature contrast, like the one between the North Pole and the equator, causes a dramatic increase in horizontal wind speed with height. Therefore, a jet stream forms directly over the center of the strongest area of horizontal temperature difference, or the front. As a general rule, a strong front has a jet stream directly above it that is parallel to it. Figure B shows that jet streams are positioned just below the tropopause (the red lines) and above the fronts, in this case, the boundaries between two circulation cells carrying air of different temperatures.
Answer:
Ionic substance
Explanation:
An ionic substance is formed when oppositely charged ions link up to form an infinitely large lattice structure that can only be described in terms of unit cells.
Ionic substances may consist of billions of oppositely charged ions. Ionic substances are hard, have high melting and boiling points and do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are not free in the solid state.
However, in solution or molten state, the substance conducts electricity since the ions which are the charge carriers are now mobile.

B. Bleach and sea water should be identified as bases
Explanation:
- The pH scale measures the acidic or basic nature of a substance.
- Ranges from 0 to 14.
- If pH is lower than 7 → the solution is an acid.
- If pH is more than 7 → the solution is an basic or alkaline.
- If a pH is a 7 it is neutral.
In the given question, the pH scale measures for bleach is 8 and for sea water it is 13. So, bleach is basic, not neutral and Sea water is basic too instead of acid. So, Bleach and sea water should be identified as bases.
An exchange reaction consists of both synthesis and decomposition reactions.
Here’s a complex example: AB + CD → AC + BD.
Another example might be: AB + CD → AD + BC.
