If the wind is blowing from the southwest, then the bearing for the wind vector is 225°. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement is true because a wind blowing from the southwest would cause the air to travel northeast, which would be a vector represented by a 225° angle. B. The statement is false because a wind blowing from the southwest would cause the air to travel northeast, which would be a vector represented by a 45° angle. C. The statement is false because southwest would be represented on the unit circle by a vector pointing into the middle of quadrant 1, which is a 45° angle. D. The statement is true because southwest would be represented on the unit circle by a vector pointing into the middle of quadrant 3, which is a 225° angle.arrow_forwardc) The geodesics of the sphere are great circles.
