Question 7 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Which of the following winds are found in the upper troposphere?

Answer
A
Jet streams
B
Trade winds
C
Surface winds
D
Coriolis winds

Explanation

Jet streams are narrow bands of very fast winds that flow high in the atmosphere, near the top of the troposphere. Trade winds and surface winds occur lower down, while the Coriolis effect is a force that influences winds rather than a distinct wind found at a particular altitude. Therefore, the correct choice is jet streams.
