Which term describes the atmosphere in the vicinity of a high pressure area?
• High pressure systems and their typical weather patterns • Differences between cyclones and anticyclones • How fronts (cold fronts, occluded fronts) are related to low-pressure systems
• Ask yourself: around a high pressure center, does the air generally move inward and upward, or outward and downward? • Which of these choices is most closely associated with low-pressure, unsettled weather, and which is linked to clearer, more stable conditions? • Are fronts (cold or occluded) features of boundaries between air masses, or names for entire pressure systems?
• Identify which option refers specifically to a high pressure circulation pattern, not a boundary line between air masses • Eliminate any terms that are normally associated with low pressure and stormy weather • Verify that the remaining term matches the typical wind rotation and sinking/rising air found in a high pressure area
