What does the crustal plates movement causes?
Earthquakes. Pressure in the Earth's core.

What is the measurable movement in a vein or artery caused by pressure from heart beat?
N
Is the movement of a plate uniform or uneven along its boundary?
UnevenEach plate has several boundaries and exerts pressure in all directions, and the movement is rarely close to uniform.
Why does the northern hemisphere go clockwise?
Coriolis Force: How does the Earth's rotation modify the Wind? Wind does not cross the isobars at right angles as the pressure-gradient force directs. All free-moving objects, including wind, are deflected to the right of their path of motion in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left of their path of motion in the Southern Hemisphere. The reason for this deflection is the Coriolis force: where m is the mass and u is the velocity vector of a fluid parcel, and  is the rotation vector of the Earth. The magnitude of the Coriolis force is: where  is the latitude, f = 2 sin is called the Coriolis parameter, and u is the magnitude of the velocity. The Coriolis force written in vector form clearly indicates that It is directed at right angles to the direction of air flow. It affects only wind direction, not the wind speed. Its magnitude is affected by wind speed (the stronger the wind, the greater the deflecting force). Its magnitude increases from zero at the Equator to a maximum at the poles. The Coriolis force thus has the effect of deflecting air flow. It also has the effect of deflecting ocean currents.
What term does not describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low-pressure system?
Clockwise and anticyclonic are words which do NOT apply to northern hemisphere lows.

Which term does not describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low-pressure system?
divergent
Describe the path of air as it travels into a low-pressure area in the northern hemisphere?
Winds in the Northern Hemisphere tend to blow clockwise out of areas of high pressure and counterclockwise into areas of low pressure.
Describe how Winds blow pressure centers in the northern hemisphere?
Winds blow inward and counterclockwise around a low
The wind appears to travel clockwise around high pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in southern Hemisphere. What phenomenon does this describe?
It's the Coriolis Effect.

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 a low pressure system what direction do winds in the northern hemisphere blow?
Winds in a northern hemisphere low pressure system rotate counterclockwise around the low pressure center.
In the Northern Hemisphere winds associated with a high-pressure system blow .?
In the northern hemisphere, winds associated with a high-pressure system blow clockwise towards the center.
What direction do surface winds circulate in a high pressure system in the northern hemisphere?
They circulate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
