Question 1 of 27070

Which describes the wind circulation around a high-pressure center in the Northern Hemisphere?

🔍 Key Concepts

• High-pressure system behavior in the Northern Hemisphere • Relationship between wind direction and pressure centers • Difference between clockwise vs. counterclockwise flow around highs and lows

💭 Think About

• First, recall how winds circulate around a low-pressure center in the Northern Hemisphere, then compare that to a high-pressure center. • Think about whether air moves toward or away from a high-pressure center at the surface. • Use the Coriolis effect: in the Northern Hemisphere, does moving air get deflected to the right or to the left, and how does that affect circulation around highs?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether surface air in a high-pressure system converges (moves toward) or diverges (moves away) from the center. • Verify which way winds rotate around high vs low pressure in the Northern Hemisphere. • Match both parts of the description (rotation direction AND inward/outward motion) before choosing an option.
