An area of low geopotential heights.
clockwise away from the high-pressure center
No, it is associated with low pressure. However, some high pressure systems blow winds over the desert, in summer causing warm weather, in winter cold weather in the direction that the wind is blowing to.
The surface pressure is 1l1.3kPa
The pressure is high
surface.
Generally with high surface pressure, there is sinking air and clear skies. With low surface pressure there is rising air with clouds and precipitation given sufficient moisture.

They are actually called a Storm Surge, and it is due to the low pressure associated with a hurruicane which causes a rise in sea surface level which is then whipped up by the strong hurricane force winds. (Rip tides, or rip currents, are strong surface currents flowing seaward from a shore in some places, and are not generally associated with hurricanes.)
The atmosphere exerts pressure on various objects on the earth's surface. Air pressure is generally caused by the collision of the gas molecules with one another.
Because the gas giants don't have a solid surface, so it's hard to define a proper "surface" where the "atmosphere" ends and the real "planet" begins. Instead the "surface" of a gas giant is generally defined as the point where the pressure of the gas is equal to the atmospheric pressure at Earth's surface.
Peridotites are invasive rocks formed underneath the earth's surface and the high pressure conditions Dodge gases from forming and getting away

The surface pressure is 1l1.3kPa
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
Line of constant pressure shown on the surface pressure diagram are called isobars. Isobars show areas of high pressure and areas of low pressure. The surface pressure diagram can be used to predict weather patterns.
