Based on your knowledge of the pressure gradient and Coriolis Effect, identify the proper pressure cell and location.
A)low pressure, Northern Hemisphere
B)low pressure, Southern Hemisphere
C)high pressure, Southern Hemisphere
D)high pressure, Northern Hemisphere

Question

Based on your knowledge of the pressure gradient and Coriolis Effect, identify the proper pressure cell and location. 
A)low pressure, Northern Hemisphere 
B)low pressure, Southern Hemisphere 
C)high pressure, Southern Hemisphere 
D)high pressure, Northern Hemisphere

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Coriolis Effect in the Southern Hemisphere causes objects to deflect to the left, meaning that low pressure systems will rotate counterclockwise. Therefore, the proper pressure cell for this location is a low pressure in the Southern Hemisphere.
