Question 1187Navigation General
70% to passWhile taking weather observations, you determine that the wind is blowing from the northeast. You would record the wind direction in the weather log as _______________.
A
045°
B
090°
C
135°
D
225°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 045°. When recording wind direction, the standard is to use the direction the wind is blowing from, measured in degrees clockwise from true north. Since the wind is blowing from the northeast, the wind direction would be recorded as 045°. The other answer choices are incorrect because 090° represents wind blowing from the east, 135° represents wind blowing from the southeast, and 225° represents wind blowing from the southwest, which do not match the given wind direction of northeast.
