🔍 Key Concepts

• Anticyclone definition and how it differs from a low-pressure system • Effect of the Coriolis force on winds in the Southern Hemisphere • Relationship between pressure gradient (high to low) and direction of flow around highs

💭 Think About

• First, recall which way air circulates around a high-pressure system (anticyclone) in the Northern Hemisphere; then think about how that reverses in the Southern Hemisphere. • Decide whether air around a high-pressure center tends to move toward the center or away from it at the surface. • Picture standing over the South Pole looking down at the Earth: which way does the Coriolis force deflect moving air, and how does that affect the rotation around a high?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that surface air moves from high pressure toward low pressure, then is deflected by Coriolis. • Confirm whether the Coriolis effect in the Southern Hemisphere deflects motion to the left or to the right of its path. • Match the correct combination of rotation direction (clockwise/counterclockwise) and radial flow (inward/outward) for a high-pressure system in the Southern Hemisphere.
