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.

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.

When an object moves in a circular path it accelerates toward the center of the circle as a result of?

When an object moves in a circular path, it accelerates toward the center of the circle due to the centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is necessary to keep the object moving in a curved path rather than in a straight line.


What happens to the sind speed as the air pressure gets lower..why?

It increases. High pressure air always moves toward low pressure areas. When there is low pressure, the high pressure moves in, and the movement of air creates wind.


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.


What is center of pressure of an airfoil?

Center of pressureThe position on the chord at which the resultant force act is called center of pressure. the position of center of pressure of pressure is usually defined as being certain position of the chord from the leading edge for ordinary angle of light and angle of attack of the aerofoil is increased center of pressure moves forward

Centripetal Force is the correct answer


How do air masses interact to form a cyclone?

Air moves in a spiraling pattern from centers of high pressure toward centers of low pressure.


What forms where cold air moves toward warm air?

Low pressure area and in turn, typhoon


What happens to air pressure as a warm front moves toward and then over an area?

As a warm front moves toward and then over an area, air pressure typically decreases. This is due to the warm air rising over the denser, cooler air ahead of the front, which leads to lower pressure at the surface.


How does the wind move in a tornado?

The wind moves in a spiral fashion, moving rapidly toward the center of the tornado in a cyclonic fashion, meaning counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. In the core of the tornado this wind takes on a more circular pattern. In addition to the spiral movement, wind in a tornado moves rapidly upwards. There may be fairly calm area of sinking air at the center of some tornadoes. In these tornadoes, a series of smaller whirlwinds can sometimes develop inside the tornado. These spinning columns of air circle the tornado's center, moving with the rotation.
