Question 1022Navigation General

The correct answer is D) high winds. Closely spaced pressure gradient lines on a weather map indicate a strong pressure gradient, which leads to high winds. The tighter the spacing between the isobars (lines of equal pressure), the stronger the pressure gradient and the higher the wind speeds. The other answer choices are incorrect. Fog or steady rain (A) and calm or light winds (B) are not indicated by closely spaced pressure gradient lines. High overcast clouds (C) may be present, but are not the primary indication of the weather condition being asked about in the question.
