Question

22. What are Anticyclones? How are they caused?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In an anticyclone, winds move out from a high-pressure area with wind direction clockwise in the northern hemisphere, anti-clockwise in the southern hemisphere. ... When it displaces the heavier nitrogen and oxygen, it causes an anti-cyclone.

Answer 2

Anticyclones form from air masses cooling more than their surroundings, which causes the air to contract slightly making the air more dense. Since dense air weighs more, the weight of the atmosphere overlying a locatiion increases, causing increased surface air pressure
