Question

wind always blows from lox pressure to high pressure

Answer 1

That's backwards — wind is driven from high pressure toward low pressure by the pressure‑gradient force. The reason people sometimes say otherwise is that other forces (mainly the Coriolis force and surface friction) change the wind's direction, so winds do not always blow straight from high to low.

Short explanation:
- Pressure‑gradient force (PGF) points from high pressure toward low pressure and is the cause of wind.
- As the air starts to move, the Coriolis force (due to Earth’s rotation) deflects the motion to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, so the wind tends to turn and flow along the isobars (lines of constant pressure) rather than directly across them.
- Near the surface, friction slows the wind and reduces the Coriolis effect, so surface winds cross the isobars at an angle toward lower pressure (i.e., into lows, out of highs).

Typical patterns:
- Around a low (cyclone) in the Northern Hemisphere wind flows counterclockwise and inward (toward the low).
- Around a high (anticyclone) in the Northern Hemisphere wind flows clockwise and outward (away from the high).

If you want, I can draw a simple diagram or show the forces and a short equation (pressure‑gradient = −(1/ρ)∇p, geostrophic wind balance with Coriolis) to make it clearer.
