The correct statement that describes how atmospheric circulation affects climate on Earth is:

Around 30°N latitude, high-pressure systems are common, causing clear skies.

This region typically corresponds to the subtropical high-pressure areas, which are associated with dry conditions and minimal cloud cover, leading to clear skies.
