Anticyclones characteristically have winds blowing out from their centers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anticyclones are regions of high atmospheric pressure with winds that move outward and clockwise (in the Northern Hemisphere) or counterclockwise (in the Southern Hemisphere) around the center. This is due to the downward movement of air caused by the high pressure, leading to divergence in the upper atmosphere and convergence at the surface, resulting in outward-flowing winds.
