Question 1324Navigation General

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.
