Question 776Navigation General

The correct answer is B) Change direction in a clockwise manner in the Northern Hemisphere. A veering wind in the Northern Hemisphere refers to a wind that shifts direction in a clockwise manner. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes air masses in the Northern Hemisphere to deflect to the right as they move. As a result, a veering wind will change direction in a clockwise pattern. The other options are incorrect because: A) refers to a backing wind, not a veering wind; C) describes the circulation of a low-pressure system, not a veering wind; and D) describes the circulation in the Southern Hemisphere, which is the opposite of the Northern Hemisphere.
