Low pressure moves in which directions?

Low pressure systems are characterized by a specific movement of air. When we talk about low pressure, we refer to areas where the atmospheric pressure is lower than that of surrounding areas. Air naturally flows from regions of higher pressure to lower pressure, which creates a convergence at the center of a low pressure system.

As air converges toward the center of the low pressure, it is forced to rise because there is nowhere else for it to go. This upward movement leads to cloud formation and often results in precipitation. Therefore, in a low pressure system, the air moves inward toward the center and rises upward once it reaches that point.

This behavior of air movement is crucial to understanding weather patterns and systems. The other options describe different types of air movement that do not accurately characterize how low pressure systems operate.
