🔍 Key Concepts

• Wind shift direction in the Northern Hemisphere (clockwise vs. counterclockwise) • Meteorological terms: veering vs. backing winds • How wind direction is described (where it comes FROM, not where it is going)

💭 Think About

• Picture a compass rose and imagine the wind direction slowly moving: which term applies when it rotates clockwise, and which when it rotates counterclockwise? • Think about standard meteorology terminology used in weather reports and forecasts: which of these four options are real, commonly used technical terms? • Ask yourself: among these choices, which are specific meteorological words describing a CHANGE in wind direction rather than a type of wind.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answers are actual meteorological terms related to wind change, and which are not • Decide which term correctly matches a counterclockwise rotation of wind direction in the Northern Hemisphere • Confirm you are thinking of wind direction as the direction it is coming from, moving around the compass.
