Answer:
In a low pressure column, the air moves → Upwards .
A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it.
Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet.
As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.
Because of Earth’s spin and the Coriolis Effect, winds of a low pressure system swirl counterclockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator. This is called cyclonic flow.
