In term of rotation what is the difference between high and low pressure system?

They rotate in opposite directions. High pressure rotates clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Low pressure is just the opposite.

Do tornadoes begin as areas of low pressure?
If you mean a low pressure system. Then no, low pressure systems may throw out impulses cause severe rotation and tornadoes but they do not start as a low pressure system.
If a region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in what is the best prediction about the weather from this information?
Stormy. If a very low barometric pressure system where air rotation is counter clock wise, sits off the coast in the norht east region for example, and a high pressure system where center of rotation is clock wise, moves in from the west. The result very high wind conditions. Air rotating clockwise(high pressure), and air rotating counter clockwise (low pressure) the end result is very windy air between the two systems.
What causes global winds to curve rather than move straight?
The result of Earth's rotation. Air heads into low pressure system center and out of high pressure system.
What is Buys Ballot's law?
The law states how the location of pressure systems can be deduced from the wind direction in the Northern Hemisphere. "If one stands with his back to the wind, atmospheric pressure is higher to his right and lower to his left" (restated: a high pressure system may be to your right, or a low pressure system to your left). This is because in the Northern Hemisphere, the rotation of high pressure systems is clockwise and in low pressure systems, it is counterclockwise.
Why there is high pressure in hurricane's eye?
There isn't. The eye of a hurricane is an area of low pressure. In fact, the lowest sea level pressure occur in the eyes of extremely intense hurricanes. A hurricane is itself a strong low pressure system. Air rises and creates a pressure deficit. This is enhanced by the rapid rotation of the storm.
What is the difference between stroam and cyclone?
A cyclone is a large scale low pressure system with a closed circulation, and cyclonic rotation. Most storms are small to middle scale systems and do not rotate.
What is the difference between rotation and revolution with regard to the solar system?
Revolution is the time a planet takes to revolve around itself. Rotation is the time a planet takes to orbit the Sun.
What is the difference between a high-pressure system and A low pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
What is the difference between high-pressure system and a low-pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
How do you tell difference between radiator leak or hose leak?
pressure test the cooling system
Can i put a pressure valve ona well pump pipe?
Your meaning is unclear. Your system will already have pressure switch, -why would you need a pressure valve?- or are you unaware of the difference between a valve and a switch.
Do tornadoes begin as areas of low pressure?
If you mean a low pressure system. Then no, low pressure systems may throw out impulses cause severe rotation and tornadoes but they do not start as a low pressure system.
What is difference between pressure reducing valve and pressure relief valve?
pressure relief valve relief the excess pressure which is developed in the syatem, while pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure and supply it to the system.

The result very high wind conditions. Air rotating clockwise(high pressure), and air rotating counter clockwise (low pressure) the end result is very windy air between the two systems.
