Near which atmospheric region are jet streams generally found?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
Option A is correct. Jet streams are narrow bands of very strong winds found mainly near the tropopause, at the boundary region between the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. Strong horizontal temperature contrasts and pressure differences help produce them. They are not normally located in the mesosphere, exosphere, or upper thermosphere, where the atmosphere is much thinner and the relevant circulation is different.
