I might be wrong but I believe its the jet stream

Winds circulate around an area of high pressure?
Winds circulate around an area of high pressure.
What can high winds cause at a beach?
The rising air in a hurricane creates and area of low pressure that draws air in. The lower the pressure is in a storm, the more force it will exert on air and the faster the winds will be. Pressure in a hurricane is very low, so winds reach great speeds as they approach the center.
Winds form in response to the?
Wind is caused from the way the radiation from the sun is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The air is unevenly absorbed, which causes the hot air to rise and the colder air to sink. The air rising causes the pressure of the atmosphere to drop, the sinking of the air causes lower atmospheric pressure. Whenever the air moves from high to low pressure area, it creates wind.
Which type of pressure area do winds blow out of?
High pressure.
What area over which winds blow creates high waves?
Winds blowing over a large area create powerful, high, and fast waves.
Winds circulate around an area of high pressure?
Winds circulate around an area of high pressure.
Why do winds blow in a direction?
Winds are simply air that is 'sucked' from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area.

How are winds affected by areas of high pressure?
In zones where air ascends, the air is less dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of low pressure. Winds blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and so the surface winds would tend to blow toward a low pressure center. In zones where air descends back to the surface, the air is more dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of high atmospheric pressure. Since winds blow from areas ofhigh pressureto areas oflow pressure, winds spiral outward away from the high pressure. The Coriolis Effect deflects air toward the right in the northern hemisphere and creates a general clockwise rotation around the high pressure center. In the southern hemisphere the effect is just the opposite, and winds circulate in a counterclockwise rotation about the high pressure center. Such winds circulating around a high pressure center are calledanticyclonic windsand around a low pressure area they are calledcyclonic winds.

What area over which winds blow creates high waves?
Winds blowing over a large area create powerful, high, and fast waves.
Area of higher pressure with winds that spiral?
Anticyclone
