    the balancing of heat energy on Earth. Jet Streams: Earth’s weather is strongly influenced by atmospheric conditioned and events that occur at the boundaries between wind zones. On either side of these imaginary boundaries‚ both surface and upper-level air differs greatly in temperature and pressure. Remember that wind‚ temperature‚ and pressure are related. Differences in temperature and pressure cause wind. Therefore‚ a large temperature gradient in upper-level air should result in strong westerly

    The crew saw mud and gas pouring onto the floor of the rig. All the members of the crew instantly attempted to close the valve in the Blowout Preventer‚ which was intended to shut off the flow of high-pressure oil and gas from the well‚ but failed to seal the well because the drill pipe buckled for reasons that are still unknown. The crew could have redirected the flow of the mud and gas away from Deepwater Horizon and into the gulf‚ but instead they directed
