Question

Group of answer choices

Counter-clockwise away from low pressure

Clockwise away from low pressure

Counter-clockwise toward low pressure

None of the options apply

Clockwise toward low pressure

Answer 1

Surface winds associated with a midlatitude cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere move counter-clockwise toward low pressure.

This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes the winds to rotate around a low-pressure center in a counter-clockwise direction.
