When is a jet stream produced?

Biology
2 answers:
astra-53 [7]4 years ago

A jet stream forms high in the upper troposphere<span> between two </span>air masses<span> of very different temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the air masses, the faster the wind blows in the jet stream. </span>

<span>This river of air has wind speeds which often exceed 100 mph, and sometimes peak over 200 mph. Jet streams usually form in the winter, when there is a greater contrast in temperature between cold continental air masses and warm oceanic air masses.

hope this helped :)

Even though the wind "tries" to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the turning of the Earth causes the air flow to turn to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the jet stream flows around the air masses, rather than directly from one to the other.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

But certain stressors, most of them human-caused or human-influenced, threaten or reduce biodiversity. Because the creatures and plants in ecosystems are interdependent, the loss of even one species can have profound effects on the entire ecosystem, can affect other ecosystems and can endanger people as well.

Alik [6]

Answer:

C. Nitrogen bases

Explanation:

It has an alternating chemical phosphate and sugar backbone, making the 'sides' of the ladder. (Deoxyribose is the name of the sugar found in the backbone of DNA.) In between the two sides of this sugar-phosphate backbone are four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

How does nitrification occur in nature, starting from gaseous Nitrogen?​
Alecsey [184]
Nitrification. The conversion of ammonium to nitrate is performed primarily by soil-living bacteria and other nitrifying bacteria. In the primary stage of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonium ( NH+4) is performed by bacteria such as the Nitrosomonas species, which converts ammonia to nitrites ( NO−2).
