A diagram to show the wind direction aroungd high pressure system?
Air circulates clockwise around a high pressure system in the northern hemisphere, counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Do hurricanes turn in a counter-clockwise direction?
Sort of. Pulling air inward and the formation of a circulation are necessary for a hurricane to develop, but they are also consequences of the low pressure area that is the precursor of a hurricane, which is powered by warm, moist air.
Which map view best shows the movement of surface air around a low-pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere?
low pressure, counter-clockwise, inward
In northern hemisphere winds blow inward or outward?
outward
Does the wind flow upward or downward in a cyclone?
The wind in a cyclone flows inward and upward in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. This upward flow is due to the low pressure at the center of the cyclone, which causes air to rise and create a cyclonic circulation.

How does air move in the low and pressure systems?
Air flows counterclockwise and inward for all low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise and inward in the Southern Hemisphere. And high pressure systems flow clockwise and outward in the Northern Hemisphere and in the Southern Hemisphere they flow counterclockwise and outward. On weather maps a high is represented as a capital H and is blue, while a low is represented as a capital L and is red.

What is the usual surface wind pattern around the eye of northern hemisphere hurricanes?
Counterclockwise and inward
How does the air chase itself in a tornado?
A tornado forms from the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm. The updraft of the tornado creates low pressure that causes air to spiral inward (usually counterclockwise int he northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern) and then upward.
Describe how Winds blow pressure centers in the northern hemisphere?
Winds blow inward and counterclockwise around a low
Describe how winds blow around pressure centers in the northern hemisphere?
Winds blow inward and counterclockwise around a low
Do the winds in a northern hemisphere cyclone spiral counterclockwise away or toward its center?
Toward the center. The low pressure sucks air inward.
What is a cyclone and an anticyclone?
A cyclone is a large tropical storm caused by winds rotating around an 'eye', or central area, of low atmospheric pressure. In a cyclone, rapid inward circulation of air masses about a low pressure centre. 'Cyclone' is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. These tropical storms tend to be called 'cyclones' in the southern hemisphere, and they rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, where cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean, they are called hurricanes and those in the South China Sea and regions of Asia are called typhoons. Northern hemisphere cyclones rotate anti-clockwise, and are sometimes called anti-cyclones.
