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

Question

Surface air moves toward the center of system
Surface air moves away from the center of system
Surface air moves up and down in the center of system
Surface air circles around the center of system

Answer 1

The correct description of the movement of air in a high pressure system is: Surface air moves away from the center of the system.

In a high pressure system, the air at the surface is generally descending and spreading outwards, which leads to fair weather conditions. The air flows outward from the center towards lower pressure areas.
