Question

question 10 of 10
what determines how far south the cold air from the north pole travels?

a. the trade winds

b. the gulf stream

c. the jet stream

d. the polar easterlies

Explanation:

The jet stream is a fast - flowing air current in the atmosphere. It acts as a boundary that can steer the cold air masses from the North Pole. The position and strength of the jet stream determine how far south this cold air will travel. Trade winds are in the tropics, the Gulf Stream is an ocean current, and polar easterlies are more about the general circulation near the poles but not the main factor for determining the southward extent of Arctic cold air.

Answer:

C. The jet stream
