Near a high-pressure weather system (also called an anticyclone), clouds are unlikely to form. Why is this?
A)Air flows downward and outward from a high.
B)Air flows upward and into the high.
C)Highs do not form in moist air.
D)The Coriolis force turns the air, dispersing condensed air so clouds cannot form.

In a high-pressure system, air flows downward and outward, leading to adiabatic warming of the descending air. This process decreases the air's relative humidity, making cloud formation less likely.
