Question 822Navigation General

The correct answer is B) south-southeast. According to Buys Ballot's law, in the Northern Hemisphere, when an observer experiences a northeast wind, the center of low pressure is located to the south-southeast of the observer's position. This is because in the Northern Hemisphere, the wind rotates counterclockwise around a low-pressure system, so a northeast wind indicates that the low-pressure center is to the south-southeast. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the relationship between wind direction and the location of the low-pressure center in the Northern Hemisphere as described by Buys Ballot's law.
