Question 1324Navigation General70% to pass
Two well-developed low pressure areas may be separated by a _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) ridge of higher pressure.
A ridge of higher pressure refers to an elongated area of high atmospheric pressure that typically separates two low-pressure systems. This ridge acts as a barrier, preventing the two low-pressure areas from merging and creating a single, larger low-pressure system.
The other options are incorrect because a trough (A) is an elongated area of low pressure, a valley (B) is a low-lying area between hills or mountains, and a hill (D) is a raised piece of land, none of which accurately describe the feature separating two well-developed low-pressure areas.
