Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

A instability

B a region of divergence

C turbulent flow

D a shortwave

Answer:

B a region of divergence

Step-by-step explanation:

Jet Streaks are formed by gusts of air that are emitted at very high speeds, creating true air currents, when they are created they end up causing a strong change in the direction of the vent, due to the rapid shear they impose, this makes the speed increase considerably. As a result of this, low pressure centers are created, where the air rises due to a horizontal inflow, caused by the convergence of the air. In this same system, the divergent air appears with more intensity causing the intensification of a cyclone.
