Answer» As stated in the above paragraph, the reversal of WIND during the winter and summer monsoon makes deep-sea navigation relatively simple by sailing with wind techniques, and there are no TREACHEROUS currents. The Indian Ocean has comparatively fewer hazards for the mariners than the Pacific and the Atlantic. The 'roaring FORTIES' (westerlies blowing ALONG 40° S. latitude) help the movement of ships from the Cape of Good Hope to Australia's west coast. The westerlies, anti-trades, or prevailing westerlies, are prevailing winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. Hence the correct answer is option 4. |
