Answer:Air in high pressure systems moves in an anticlockwise direction (in the southern hemisphere), while air in low pressure systems moves in a clockwise direction due to the rotation of the Earth. At the surface of the Earth air flows from high pressure systems into low pressure systems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Warm air rises, creating a low pressure zone; cool air sinks, creating a high pressure zone. Air that moves horizontally between high and low pressure zones makes wind.Smaller pressure systems create localized winds that affect the weather and climate of a local area.
