The perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction
Answer:
Jet stream
Explanation:
Jet stream is fast moving air or wind that blows horizontally through the upper layers of the troposphere, generally from west to east. It develops where air masses of different temperatures meet. The greater the difference in temperature, the faster the wind speed.
Jet stream has the following characteristics;
- The winds blow from west to east
- The flow often shifts to the north and south.
- They follow the boundaries between hot and cold air.
Process by which new rock is made from old rock; rock cycle
The rock cycle is a recycling process by which igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are produced, converted from one form to another and destroyed. The rock cycle is a continuous process that has been occurring throughout the history of the earth. The major processes of the rock cycle include sedimentation, crystallization, metamorphism and erosion.
