Wind flows clockwise around high pressure in the northern hemisphere. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, it is clockwise around low pressure. The reason for the difference is the Coriolis Force.

In the Northern Hemisphere a high pressure area rotates .?
clockwise
In the northern hemisphere how do winds blow out of an area of high pressure?
They Blow Clockwise
In the northern hemisphere how do the winds blow out of an area of high pressure?
They Blow Clockwise
What happens when a high pressure system moves in where a low pressure system already is?
Typically the area between the systems gets high winds because of the differences in circulation such as a high pressure spins clockwise and low pressure system spins counter clockwise.
What are anticyclones in geography?
An anticyclone is the opposite of a depression. A depression stays for a short time whereas an anticyclone stays for a long period of time. In other words, an anticyclone is a high-pressure area, a circulation of winds around a central region of high atmospheric pressure, clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
What area of pressure does the wind flow clockwise around?
High
Whats the wind pattern around a high pressure area?
The wind pattern around a high pressure area is clockwise (in the northern hemisphere). It is said to resemble a spinning disk, as opposed to a spinning sphere.
After high pressure areas are created around the poles cold polar air flows toward?
The low pressure area at the Equator.
Does Wind blow out of low pressure areas?
Wind flows Cyclonically (counterclockwise) into a low pressure system. (Winds flow clockwise out of a high pressure system)... in the Northern Hemisphere. A severe low in the northern hemisphere produces winds that are called a Hurricane (USA) or Typhoon (Japan/coast of China).Winds flow clockwise around a low pressure area in the southern hemisphere. A severe low in the northern hemisphere produces winds that are called a Cyclone.
Winds are generated when air flows from a high pressure area into a what?
low pressure area.
The Northern Hemisphere a high pressure area rotates .?
clockwise
In the Northern Hemisphere a high pressure area rotates .?
clockwise
What fluids flow?
a fluid naturally flows from an area of the high pressure to an are of low pressure.
Which way does a fluid flow in places where pressure is different?
It flows from high pressure are to low pressure area.
What direction do the winds blow out of an area of high pressure in the northern hemisphere?
CLOCKWISE!!
