What sustained wind speeds range is associated with a gale warning?

  1. 20 to 33 knots

  2. 34 to 47 knots

  3. 48 to 63 knots

  4. 64 knots or more

The correct answer is: 34 to 47 knots

A gale warning is issued when sustained wind speeds reach a certain threshold that can be dangerous for maritime activities. The range of sustained wind speeds associated with a gale warning is 34 to 47 knots. This means that the wind speed must be consistently between 34 and 47 knots to trigger a gale warning. Option A, with a range of 20 to 33 knots, does not meet the threshold for a gale warning. While these wind speeds may still be strong and cause rough seas, they do not reach the minimum sustained wind speed required for a gale warning. Option C, with a range of 48 to 63 knots, is also incorrect. These wind speeds fall within the range of a storm warning, which is issued when sustained winds reach 48 knots or higher. Similarly, option D with a wind speed of 64 knots or more
