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.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on which hemisphere. In the northern they blow anticlockwise, and the southern clockwise. This is due to the earth's rotation.

Explain how air moves differently in low-pressure and high-pressure systems?
a high pressure system moves clockwise, while a low one moves counter clockwise. high pressure systems move down and out, and low pressure systems move in and up.
What are the characteristics of a low pressure system?
In a low pressure system, air is rising. Air spirals inwards in a clockwise direction. In a low pressure system, rising air cools and clouds begin to form. Low pressure systems usually cover a smaller area than high pressure systems and move faster. Low pressure systems are associated with high precipitation.
Which type of air pressure is linked to fog and frost?
Low pressure systems are associated with rain and snow.
Do low pressure systems move inward or outward?
inward
Does air move from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure?
No, it does not.
Explain how air moves differently in low and high pressure systems?
High Pressure Systems-Move Clockwise -Move downward -Move outward Low pressure systems- Move counter clockwise -Move inward -Move upward
How air moves differently in low and high pressure systems?

How air moves differently in low- and high-pressure system?
a high pressure system moves clockwise, while a low one moves counter clockwise. high pressure systems move down and out, and low pressure systems move in and up.
What are the characteristics of a low pressure system?
In a low pressure system, air is rising. Air spirals inwards in a clockwise direction. In a low pressure system, rising air cools and clouds begin to form. Low pressure systems usually cover a smaller area than high pressure systems and move faster. Low pressure systems are associated with high precipitation.
What causes the air in both low and high pressure systems to move to the right?
movement of weather fronts
Air moves from which pressure systems towards which other pressure systems?
Air moves from high pressure systems toward low pressure systems. This movement is the cause for the winds.
Which type of air pressure is linked to fog and frost?
Low pressure systems are associated with rain and snow.
What are the two types of air pressure systems?
High pressure and low pressure
What will move from a high pressure to a low pressure area?
Air.
Which is the greatest effect on wind speed?
"The atmosphere is big. It was lots of air. There are high and low pressure systems. Think of high pressure systems as having excess air and low pressure systems having less air. Thus, the air will move from higher toward lower pressure. When it is windy outside, often there is a low pressure system the air is moving toward. How fast the wind blows will depend on the pressure differences between the high and low pressure systems. Very fast winds often occur near cold fronts, low pressure systems and jet streams. Wind can also blow faster when it is forced into a narrow space. This can happen between buildings and within mountain passes. The high and low pressure systems usually develop due to temperature differences. For this essay memorize this important concept: temperature differences result in pressure differences and this causes the air to move. This is true on all scales from the jet stream and low pressure systems to sea breeze circulations." - theweatherprediction.com ( http://www.theweatherprediction.com/kid_weather_questions/wind.html )
Do low pressure systems move inward or outward?
