The full question is:

Which is true of jet streams

A The subtropical jet stream flows to the east while the polar jet stream flows to the west

B The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and polar easterlies

C The polar jet stream is generally stronger than the subtropical jet stream

D The polar jet stream lies between the polar easterlies and trade winds

The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and trade winds.

Jet stream is defined as "a narrow, variable band of very strong, predominantly westerly air currents encircling the globe several miles above the earth." Each hemisphere has 2 or 3 primary jet streams that follow their same basic courses.

Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow air currents found at the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with height) and the stratosphere (where temperature increases with height) and are located at 10-15 kilometers above the surface of the Earth. They form near boundaries of adjacent air masses with significant differences in temperature

Jet streams are fast flowing, relatively narrow air currents found in the atmosphere around 10 kilometers above the surface of the Earth. They form at the boundaries of adjacent air masses with significant differences in temperature, such as the polar region and the warmer air to the south. The jet stream is mainly found in the tropopause, at the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with height) and the stratosphere where temperature increases with height)

Jet streams that are polar can travel at speeds that are greater than 100 miles per hour. Jet streams are fast flowing and have narrow air currents.

A jet stream is a narrow belt of strong winds that blows near the top of the troposphere.
