10) In which direction do the surface winds blow around a high-pressure system in the
Northern Hemisphere?
A) counterclockwise and inward
B) clockwise and outward
C) counterclockwise and outward
D) clockwise and inward

The correct answer is - B) clockwise and outward

Explanation:

In the Northern hemisphere, the surface winds blow around a high-pressure system that has a high pressure at its center than the pressure around the system towards outwards as it blows away from the high pressure.

The wind blows in the clockwise direction opposite to the low-pressure system due to the eastward spin of the Earth in the North of the equator or northern hemisphere.

Thus, the correct answer is - B) clockwise and outward
