UnevenEach plate has several boundaries and exerts pressure in all directions, and the movement is rarely close to uniform.
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.
The term that does not describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low-pressure system is "clockwise." In the Northern Hemisphere, low-pressure systems have counterclockwise surface air movement.
The term "clockwise" does not describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low-pressure system. In the Northern Hemisphere, air flows counterclockwise around a low-pressure system due to the Coriolis effect.

Upward movement of air, convergence at the surface, and clockwise rotation do not describe the surface air movement of a Northern Hemisphere low. Instead, low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere typically exhibit rising air motion, surface divergence, and counterclockwise rotation.
Air flows counterclockwise towards the center of a low-pressure area in the northern hemisphere. This movement is due to the Coriolis effect, which deflects air to the right in the northern hemisphere. As the air converges towards the center of the low-pressure system, it rises, cools, and forms clouds and precipitation.
Winds blow inward and counterclockwise around a low
It's the Coriolis Effect.
It's the Coriolis Effect.
In the northern hemisphere, winds blow counterclockwise around low-pressure centers and clockwise around high-pressure centers, due to the Coriolis effect. This effect causes the air to be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere, resulting in the characteristic wind patterns around pressure systems.
The best map view to show the movement of surface air around a low-pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere is an isobaric map, where lines of equal pressure (isobars) are plotted. Surface winds around a low-pressure system flow counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, so the isobars will show a series of concentric circles with closed contours around the low-pressure center.
In the northern hemisphere, air rushes from higher pressure areas towards lower pressure areas due to the Coriolis effect and pressure gradient force. This movement creates winds that rotate counterclockwise around low pressure regions.
Winds in a northern hemisphere low pressure system rotate counterclockwise around the low pressure center.
