Question

A healthy high-pressure system has _________ winds at the surface and ________ winds aloft.

	diverging, converging
	diverging, diverging
	converging, diverging
	converging, converging

Answer 1

diverging, converging is correct option.

Because Surface high pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere have a clockwise rotation with wind turning slightly outward away from the highest pressure. This causes air to diverge, or move away, from the center of the high near the ground.

At the surface, low pressure systems have a counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere, with the wind turning slightly inward towards the lowest pressure. This causes air to converge, or come together, at the center of the low near the ground.
