Away. The high pressure pushes the winds away outwards.

Fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high pressure?
No. Fluids move away from areas of high pressure and toward areas of low pressure.
Does wind moves rapidly toward a high pressure center?
No. Winds move away from a high pressure center and towards a low pressure center. You can think of it as the low pressure sucking the air in.
Why air move from low to high air pressure?
In areas of high pressure the air is being squeezed more by the air above it than it is in areas of lower pressure. So the air will tend to get pushed away from the high pressure area.
Good weather is usually found in low pressure area or high pressure area?
High pressure areas
Does it move from an area of high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure?
A fluid will move from high pressure to low pressure.
What does air do in a high pressure area?
A high pressure area is usually an area that is being cooled, making the air move toward the ground. It gradually moves away from the high pressure area toward a low pressure area.
Do the winds move toward a high-pressure area or away from it?
Divergent
Fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high pressure?
No. Fluids move away from areas of high pressure and toward areas of low pressure.
Does wind moves rapidly toward a high pressure center?
No. Winds move away from a high pressure center and towards a low pressure center. You can think of it as the low pressure sucking the air in.
What direction does weather move near a high- pressure area?
Away from it.
Molecules from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure?
Yes. Everything "flows downhill" in that sense, going toward the lower pressure, temperature, concentration, energy level, etc.
After high pressure areas are created around the poles cold polar air flows toward?
The low pressure area at the Equator.
What causes the breeze to start?
Uneven heating in the atmosphere causes pressure differences and when air is in high pressure, it moves toward an area of lower pressure, and that is how wind starts.
Why air move from low to high air pressure?
In areas of high pressure the air is being squeezed more by the air above it than it is in areas of lower pressure. So the air will tend to get pushed away from the high pressure area.
Why are most deserts found on 30 degrees latitude?
The 30 degree latitude area is at the high pressure region developed by the sinking air from the Hadley Cell created by the low pressure rising air at the equator. Winds move from high to low pressure areas. The doldrums are located at the equator, this is a low pressure area. When the air sinks at the 30 degree latitude air moves away from the 30 toward the equator and 60 degree latitudes. Since air does not move toward the 30, there is no way to bring the maritime air masses to those desert areas.
Does are come together or move apart in an area of surface low pressure?
Air always flows towards areas of low pressure - and away from high pressure.
Do clouds rise in the center of a low pressure or high pressure area?
Air rises in a low pressure area and sinks in a high pressure area.
