Question 1148Navigation General

The correct answer is B) South-southwesterly. In the Southern Hemisphere, the wind flow around a low pressure system is counterclockwise. Since the low pressure system is 100 miles due east, the winds you can expect on the southern side of the low would be from the south-southwest. The other options are incorrect because: A) North-northwesterly winds would be associated with the northern side of the low pressure system, not the southern side. C) North-northeasterly and D) South-southeasterly winds are not the typical wind flow pattern around a low pressure system in the Southern Hemisphere.
