Which correctly describes the movement of air in a high pressure system

1 answer

In a high-pressure system, air moves downwards and outward. The air descends from above as it cools and creates a region of higher pressure at the surface. As the air descends, it warms and dries out, which typically leads to clearer skies and more stable weather conditions. In the northern hemisphere, the air generally moves clockwise around a high-pressure system due to the Coriolis effect, while in the southern hemisphere, it moves counterclockwise.
