Question 719Navigation General

The correct answer is A) North to northwest. In the Northern Hemisphere, the winds around a low-pressure area circulate counterclockwise. Since the low-pressure center is located 100 miles due east of your position, you can expect the winds to be blowing from the north to northwest direction around the low-pressure system. The other options are incorrect because: B) East to southeast winds would be expected if the low-pressure center was to the west of your position. C) East to northeast winds would be expected if the low-pressure center was to the south of your position. D) South to southeast winds would be expected if the low-pressure center was to the north of your position.
