In one to two sentences, describe characteristics of a high-pressure system.

A high-pressure system is characterized by sinking air, clear skies, and stable weather conditions. To understand this concept, we can examine the key factors contributing to high-pressure systems: air pressure, vertical motion, and weather patterns.

A high-pressure system is characterized by descending air currents that circulate in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere (and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere), resulting in dry and stable weather conditions. Additionally, high-pressure systems are typically associated with clear skies, minimal cloud cover, and light winds.

A high-pressure system is characterized by sinking air, clear skies, and generally fair weather conditions.
