Where does the wind in a high pressure system turn?
Remember this, high pressure systems usually go outwards, into low pressure systems in order to create an equilibrium. In the northern hemisphere, the high pressure wind turns right due to the coriolis effect, and opposite in the south.
What direction is down wind?
If you hold a leaf and let it go in the wind, the direction the leaf is blown is down wind.Thus if you turn to face in the opposite direction you are facing up wind.This means that if you are down wind of an animal it will be up wind of you.
What direction do surface currents move in the Northern Hemisphere?
The most prevalent wind pattern in the temperate zones of the northern hemisphere is from west to east. High pressure systems generally produce a moderate clockwise rotation of wind. Low pressure systems produce a counterclockwise rotation. Several very large areas of the northern hemisphere have very different norms because of the disruption to airflow caused by the Himalayan Mountains in Asia. Winds in the tropical areas of the northern hemisphere have patterns different from those in the temperate zones.
What are two forces of nature that the system which causes air movement?
heat, high pressure always tries go to low pressure and visa-versa, air pressure trying to equalize cause wind. That's as simple as I can put it.
Do winds go in the same direction all over earth?
No. The wind can blow from any direction at any time.
What direction does the wind move if there is a high pressure system?
The coriolis effect causes wind to move in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere if there is a high pressure system, and counterclockwise around high pressure in the southern hemisphere. The coriolis effect is caused by the spinning of the earth. Points near the equator actually move faster than those near the poles, because they have farther to go for a complete rotation.
What causes Coriolis effect when winds tend to flow from high pressure to low pressure?
The Coriolis effect is not the tendencey for wind to go from high to low pressure. The Coriolis effect is the tendency for wind to be deflected relative to Earth as this flow occurs. It is a consequence of earth's rotation and the tendency of matter to resist changes in speed and direction.
What is wind direction of the wind in Virginia?
Wind direction varies. It does not always go in the same direction.

From what pressure to what pressure does the global wind go?
Wind is created by air pressure, there's a law in meteorology, winds will usually blow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. That's what this question would be asking for.
When the wind direction is 315 from what compass direction is it blowing?
When we measure wind direction, we go by the direction it is blowing out of. If we have 315. 360-45 = 315 which on a compass is NW. This wind we are talking about here is out of the NW. It would then be blowing SE.
What direction did the wind go?
obviously in all directions
What direction is down wind?
If you hold a leaf and let it go in the wind, the direction the leaf is blown is down wind.Thus if you turn to face in the opposite direction you are facing up wind.This means that if you are down wind of an animal it will be up wind of you.
