Question 1029Navigation General

The correct answer is B) a high pressure area with cool, dry air, and fair weather. On a weather map, a large capital letter "H" typically represents a high pressure system. High pressure systems are associated with cooler, drier air and generally fair, stable weather conditions. The cool, dry air mass under a high pressure system leads to clear skies and pleasant weather. The other answer choices are incorrect. A heavy squall line would not be indicated by a simple "H" (option A), a high pressure system with warm, moist air would lead to more inclement weather (option C), and the "horse latitudes" refer to a region of calmer winds, not the weather symbol itself (option D).
