For reasons I won't explain lest you should lapse into a coma, there is a physical limitation as to how sharply clockwise-circulating winds [Northern Hemisphere] can curve around a high pressure systems. The radius of curvature (how tightly winds can spiral) is significantly limited. Thus you get a broad area of light winds.
There is no such physical limitation as to how sharply the air can curve when spiraling counter-clockwise [Northern Hemisphere] toward a low pressure center, so strong winds blowing in spirals that have small radii of curvature can develop.

How is wind speed related to pressure differential?
wind speed means how fast wind goes. the more pressure, the faster the wind. :)
Will wind always blow to the high areas of high pressure?
No. Wind blows away from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
Is erosion fast or slow process?
Erosion is a fast process because the flow of water is fast by the additon of wind
Does the wind move from high pressure area towards low pressure area?
Yes, it does move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. If it didn't we would have no such thing as wind.
Is erosion a slow or fast process?
very slow...... all rocks get eroded by wind water or dust particles in the air very slowly dust is small wind is strong but not enough it takes lots of water t erode somethig
How is wind speed related to pressure differential?
wind speed means how fast wind goes. the more pressure, the faster the wind. :)
Why do high pressure usually have clear skies?
Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure, the wind brings clouds with it. away from the high pressure areas
Will wind always blow to the high areas of high pressure?
No. Wind blows away from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
Does high pressure areas have strong wind speed?
No. Wind in high pressure systems are usually gentle.
How is wind moved?
Wind is moved by a high pressure turning into a low pressure.
What are the characteristics of a high-pressure system?
The characteristic is wind and rain because high pressure means wind and rain.
Is erosion fast or slow process?
Erosion is a fast process because the flow of water is fast by the additon of wind
Does the wind usually move from areas of low pressure two areas of high pressure?
Nope... wind always flows from high-pressure areas to low.
What is air that moves from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure?
Movement of air from hogh pressure area to low pressure area is called wind.
What conditions affect the weather?
Conditions that affect the weather are wind, high pressure, and low pressure areas. Areas of concrete and blacktop heat up fast and can affect the weather.
Do wind blow from high pressure to low pressure?
Yes.
Does the wind move from high pressure area towards low pressure area?
Yes, it does move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. If it didn't we would have no such thing as wind.
