🔍 Key Concepts

• Coriolis effect in the Northern Hemisphere • Relationship between low pressure centers and wind flow direction • Difference between clockwise vs. counterclockwise circulation around lows and highs

💭 Think About

• In the Northern Hemisphere, how do winds flow around a low-pressure system such as a tropical cyclone? • Do tropical cyclones pull air toward their center or push it away from the center at the surface? • Which combination of rotation (clockwise/counterclockwise) and flow (inward/outward) matches a Northern Hemisphere low?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm how winds circulate around a low-pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere. • Verify whether surface winds in a tropical cyclone move toward or away from the storm center. • Match the correct rotation direction (clockwise vs. counterclockwise) with inward vs. outward flow for Northern Hemisphere tropical systems.
