D)high pressure, Northern Hemisphere

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Coriolis Effect causes air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Additionally, air moves from high pressure to low pressure due to the pressure gradient. In this case, the winds are moving clockwise, indicating a high pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere.
