<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. counterclockwise toward the center

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

  • In the Southern Hemisphere on the other hand, winds that are associated with a low-pressure system blow clockwise towards the center.
  • <em><u>The rotation of the earth creates a force called the Coriolis force, which gives the wind that is within high pressure systems a clockwise circulation in the northern hemispheres and a counterclockwise circulation in the southern hemisphere.</u></em>
