You're reading from the journal of a European explorer from the early 1600s. In one passage, the explorer describes sitting on the Atlantic Ocean with little wind. He describes the area as being quite far north of the equator and having high pressure.
In which type of global wind was this explorer sailing?
doldrums
horse latitudes
jet stream
polar easterlies

Respuesta :

Answer:

horse latitudes (B) hope this helps

Answer:

Doldrums are located some 5 degrees away from north while horse latitude is located some thirty degrees away from north latitude and by same degrees from the southern hemisphere. Polar eastariles are cold winds blowing across the Polar Regions and jet stream is fast blowing winds.  

Horse latitude is silent winds and the region has high pressure and very little precipitation.  

Hence, option B is correct
