Jupiter’s atmosphere is dominated by belt-zone circulation. This circulation pattern is the result of   a. extremely high-velocity winds that encircle the planets.   b. turbulent convection currents below the clouds.   c. high pressure regions of rising gas and low pressure regions of sinking gas.   d. an equilibrium in temperature between the equator and poles of Jupiter.   e. extensive atmospheric storms visible within the deep interior of the planet.
