### Atmospheric Pressure Systems Activity

This educational activity allows learners to explore the characteristics of high (anticyclonic) and low (cyclonic) pressure systems in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Users will select their answers to complete the blanks.

#### Northern Hemisphere

- **High (Anticyclonic)**
  - Surface air moves (into/out of): [ Select ]
  - Surface air will (rise/subside) in the center: [ Select ]
  - Surface air motion is (clockwise/counterclockwise): [ Select ]

- **Low (Cyclonic)**
  - Surface air moves (into/out of): [ Select ]
  - Surface air will (rise/subside) in the center: [ Select ]
  - Surface air motion is (clockwise/counterclockwise): [ Select ]

#### Southern Hemisphere

- **High (Anticyclonic)**
  - Surface air moves (into/out of): [ Select ]
  - Surface air will (rise/subside) in the center: [ Select ]
  - Surface air motion is (clockwise/counterclockwise): [ Select ]

- **Low (Cyclonic)**
  - Surface air moves (into/out of): [ Select ]
  - Surface air will (rise/subside) in the center: [ Select ]
  - Surface air motion is (clockwise/counterclockwise): [ Select ]

In the diagrams:
- For high-pressure systems, learners should determine wind direction and whether surface air moves outwards or inwards.
- In case of low-pressure systems, they should note the air movement direction and vertical air motion dynamics.
- The hemispheric differences between the rotating motions (clockwise vs counterclockwise) are to be noted for both pressure systems.

Learners will apply these concepts to better understand global atmospheric dynamics and the Coriolis effect's influence on wind patterns.
