What are jet streams?
- High velocity winds that blow in the upper troposphere at an altitude of around 12, 000 metres.
- High velocity winds that blow in the stratosphere at an altitude of around 12, 000 metres.
- Low velocity winds that blow in the upper troposphere at an altitude of around 12, 000 metres.

Q. how does presence of el nino lead to an increase in sea surface temperatures and weakening of the trade winds in the region?
Q. Why does India receive lower rainfall in an El Nino year compared to a normal year?
- The high pressure area near Madagascar does not fully develop.
- Weakened pressure differences that push the winds to low pressure areas.
- Heightened pressure differences that push the winds to high pressure areas.
- Lower pressure differences weakens monsoon winds.
