Answer:

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the center of northern and southern hemisphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wind blows clockwise around a high pressure area in the northern hemisphere and the wind blows counter - clockwise around low pressure.

In the northern hemisphere High-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction and in the southern hemisphere low-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction.

Answer:

Southern.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the northern hemisphere, the turn of the earth causes the winds to curve to the right and to the left in the southern hemisphere. With a high pressure system, the air is forced outward and the Earth's turn eastward creates a clockwise flow.
