Question 949Navigation General

The correct answer is A) Farther away to the west. Tropical waves in the Northern Hemisphere generally move from east to west. Since the wave is located 200 miles due west of your position, it will continue to move westward over the next 24 hours, placing it farther away to the west of your initial position. The other options are incorrect because: B) the wave will not move closer to the west, C) the wave will not remain in the same place, and D) the wave will not move closer and to the east, as that would be the opposite direction of its typical movement in the Northern Hemisphere.
