winds associated with a low pressure system (cyclone) blow in
what general directions?counterclockwise and toward the
center
73In the Northern Hemisphere, the
winds associated with a high pressure system (anticyclone) blow
in what general directions?clockwise and outward from the
center
74What atmospheric condition is usually associated with a low
pressure system?
precipitation
