Question 775Navigation General
70% to passSwells that have outrun the storm are produced in the _______________.
A
left front quadrant
B
directly ahead on the storms projected track
C
right front quadrant
D
rear
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) right front quadrant. Swells that have outrun the storm are produced in the right front quadrant of the storm system. This is because the wind flow in the right front quadrant of a low-pressure system causes the waves to travel outward and ahead of the storm's center, creating these long-period swells. The other options are incorrect because the left front quadrant, the direct path of the storm, and the rear of the storm do not typically generate the type of swells that have outrun the storm system.
