towards right or left? >RIGHT

9. If an observer face the surface of the wind in the Southern Hemisphere, center of high pressure is
towards his right or left? >LEFT

10. It is an atmospheric pressure otherwise known as the anticyclone? >HIGH PRESSURE AREA

11. The atmospheric pressure system that forms under areas of wind divergence that occur in the upper
levels of the atmosphere. >LOW PRESSURE AREA

12. The wind circulation on a low pressure areas in the Northern Hemisphere. >COUNTER CLOCKWISE

14. The wind circulation of a high pressure areas in the northern Hemisphere. >CLOCKWISE

15. The speed and the wind direction affecting a stationary vessel is called? >TRUE WIND

16. Speed and wind direction in relative to a moving vessel is called? >APPARENT WIND

17. Measured distance at which an object can be clearly recognized. >VISIBILITY

18. The most dangerous condition to navigate a ship in this kind of visibility >RESTRICTED VISIBILITY

19. It is a cloud whose base is at the surface of the earth. >FOG

20. A fog that forms on low lying land on clear clam nights. >RADITION FOG

21. A fog that forms on low moist air blows over colder surface mostly common over cold ocean
currents. >ADVECTION FOG

22. The fog that forms when very cold air moves over warmer waters. >STEAM FOG
23. A condition that affect visibility that is caused by fine dust or salt particles in the air. >HAZE

24. A condition the affect visibility often considered as an intermediate between haze and fog. >MIST

25. The fog that is a mixture of smoke and fog. >SMOG

equatorial currents. >TRADE WINDS

29. The prevailing winds 30°-35°N/S with clam, light variable winds and clear weather. >HORSE
LATITUDE

30. They are strong winds located in middle latitudes 30°-60° N/S because of earth’s rotation they are
diverted toward the east from the west. >WESTERLIES

31. Winds that are blowing outwards from the pole and are deflected westward by the earth’s rotation.
>CORIOLIS EFFECT

32. It is the meeting place of converging trade wind belts. >ITCZ INTER TROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE

33. It is the coastal breeze blowing at night to the ocean. >LAND BREEZE

34. A breeze occurring on hot summer days because of unequal heating rates of land and water. >SEA
BREEZE

35. It is a major wind system that seasonally reverses its direction sometimes bringing heavy rainfall and
strong winds. >MONSOON WINDS

36. The Monsoon in the Philippines that is characterized by frequent heavy rainfall and humid weather.
>SOUTHWEST MONSOON/HABAGAT
