Question 1327Navigation General

70% to pass

Good weather is usually associated with a region of _______________.

A falling barometric pressure
B low barometric pressure
C high barometric pressure
D pumping barometric pressure
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) high barometric pressure. Good weather is typically associated with a region of high barometric pressure. High pressure systems are characterized by stable, dry, and generally clear weather conditions, as the sinking air within the high-pressure area inhibits the formation of clouds and precipitation. In contrast, low-pressure systems are often associated with unsettled and stormy weather. The other answer choices are incorrect because falling barometric pressure (A) indicates the approach of a low-pressure system, which is not typically associated with good weather, and pumping barometric pressure (D) is not a standard meteorological term.
