Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the Northern Hemisphere, a high-pressure system has air flowing outwards at ground level in an anticyclonic direction, meaning clockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes moving air to turn to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, leading to a clockwise flow around high-pressure systems.
