In the northern hemisphere, wind is deflected to the right due to the Coriolis effect. This means that winds tend to blow in a clockwise direction around areas of high pressure and counterclockwise around areas of low pressure. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth.

Describe how winds blow around pressure centers in the northern hemisphere?

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.


What way does the tornado wind blow?

The winds in a tornado spin, so the wind itself can come from any direction. Except for rare cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.


How will a wind blowing to the north in the Northern Hemisphere be affected by the Coriolis effect?

The Coriolis effect will cause the wind to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. So, a wind blowing to the north in the Northern Hemisphere will be deflected to the east due to the Coriolis effect.


How will wind blowing from the south in the northern hemisphere be affected by the Coriolis effect?

Wind blowing from the south in the northern hemisphere will be deflected to the east due to the Coriolis effect. This is because the Coriolis effect causes objects (including wind) to be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere. As a result, the wind will curve to the right of its intended path.


Which direction does the wind blow in a low and a high pressure system?

It would blow from the mass of high pressure to the mass of low pressure.Answer 2Looking down from a satellite, the northern hemisphere high pressure systems move in a clockwise direction and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.Low pressure systems are the reverse of these, IE clockwise in the southern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere.

Describe how winds blow around pressure centers in the northern hemisphere?

How will the winds blowing out high pressure system in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere blow?

In the Northern Hemisphere, winds blow outward from a high-pressure system in a clockwise direction due to the Coriolis effect. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, winds also flow outward from a high-pressure system but in a counterclockwise direction. This divergence in wind patterns is a result of the Earth's rotation and the influence of the Coriolis effect on wind direction.
