Which way do winds in high pressure systems move both horizontally and vertically?
Katherinelai505
A thermohaline current flows vertically as it is driven by gravity. In fluid dynamics, we call this kind of current a gravity current.

What is two pressure systems that would cause the strongest winds?
High pressure systems and high anticyclone regions produce the strongest winds. This is because the pressure gradients are much larger in these areas.
In the Northern Hemisphere winds associated with a high-pressure system blow .?
In the northern hemisphere, winds associated with a high-pressure system blow clockwise towards the center.
What planet has the strongest winds in the solar systems?
Neptune does
How does prevailing winds affect climate?
it affects climate by idk. But I know that prevailing winds occur by changes in the atmosphere pressure
Why are the winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure zones in both hemispheres to the equator called trade winds?
In the era of sailing ships, regions of constant winds were much appreciated. They made trade around the world possible.
Wind moves from areas of high temp to low temp?
Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally. Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally.
Air moves from which pressure systems towards which other pressure systems?
Air moves from high pressure systems toward low pressure systems. This movement is the cause for the winds.
What is two pressure systems that would cause the strongest winds?
High pressure systems and high anticyclone regions produce the strongest winds. This is because the pressure gradients are much larger in these areas.
Global winds and pressure systems?
exist at the earth's surface and at high altitudes
Why does a high pressure air mass usually indicate fair weather?
Because strong Winds are always associated with Low Pressure Systems.
Why are the winds that blow from the Subtropical High Pressure Systems called the trade wind?
They used to be important for international trade when ships had sails and depended on the winds to move them.
What causes air pressure differences?
Unequal heating of the Earth - this causes Winds; because the air pressure has to where it can [is allowed to] go and that is why their are differences in air pressure. Low pressure systems are the active features of the Atmosphere - because High pressure systems occur wherever Lows do not.
Where do global winds and pressure systems exist?
Global winds and pressure systems exist at the surface and at high altitudes. Surface winds include trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. High altitude winds include high speed winds (which are often called jet streams). These high speed winds blow from the east in the low latitudes and from the west in the middle and high latitudes. Although local and seasonal variations occur, the wind and pressure patterns are generally predictable on the global scale. The high altitude wind and surface wind motions are related to each other.
What way do winds rotate around a tropical depression?
As with all low pressure systems the winds of a tropical depression rotate counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise if it is in the southern.
What is the air pressure of sydney?
Much the same as anywhere else. If not, strong winds would blow to equalize. Small differences in air pressure create wind systems and weather systems all over the world.
What steers or guides hurricane?
Hurricanes are steered by large scale wind currents, primarily the trade winds and encounters with high and low pressure systems. Pressure systems will make a storm follow a curved path.
Why are the winds that blow from the Subtropical High Pressure Systems (STHP) called the trade winds?
They continuously trade positions or shift their relative location compared to the other wind belts.
