Question 1302Navigation General

The correct answer is C) low. In the Northern Hemisphere, an area of counterclockwise wind circulation surrounded by higher pressure is known as a low-pressure system or a low. This is because the lower pressure at the center of the system causes air to converge and rise, resulting in the counterclockwise wind circulation. The other options are incorrect because: A) A warm front is a transition zone between a warm air mass and a cooler air mass, not a counterclockwise wind circulation. B) A high-pressure system, or high, is characterized by clockwise wind circulation, not counterclockwise. D) A cold front is a transition zone between a cool air mass and a warmer air mass, not a counterclockwise wind circulation.
