Question 1309Navigation General70% to pass
Little or no change in the barometric reading over a twelve hour period indicates _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) that present weather conditions will continue.
Little or no change in the barometric reading over a twelve hour period indicates that the current weather conditions are likely to persist, as the pressure is remaining stable. This suggests that a weather system is not moving in or out of the area, and the existing conditions are expected to continue.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) a defect in the barometer would cause erratic or unreliable readings, not a stable reading; B) increasing wind strength is not necessarily indicated by a stable barometric reading; and D) stormy weather is not imminent if the pressure is remaining constant, as that would typically indicate the approach of a low-pressure system.
