Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Anticyclones are caused by winds that blow spirally outwards from the centre. Winds of a high pressure system swirl in the opposite direction as a low pressure system - clockwise north of the equator and counterclockwise south of the equator. This is called anticyclonic flow. Air from higher in the atmosphere sinks down to fill the space left as air blew outward.Related Questions on Atmosphere
