Question 1184Navigation General

A) light airs and calms is the correct answer. The "horse latitudes" refer to regions located around 30 degrees north and south latitude, where high pressure systems create areas of light, variable winds and calms. This is due to the descending air in the Hadley cell circulation pattern, which causes these calm conditions. The other answer choices are incorrect. B) brisk prevailing winds is incorrect because the horse latitudes are characterized by light winds, not brisk prevailing winds. C) abundant blue sea grass vegetation is incorrect as the horse latitudes are not known for any specific vegetation. D) None of the above is incorrect because A) is the right answer.
