Weather and Climate [WEATHER AND CLIMATE]

A weather station is located 300 miles directly east of a second station. Winds at the eastern station are blowing from the south. Winds at the western station are blowing from the north. What is true about the weather system near these two locations? A high-pressure system is located between the two stations. A low-pressure system is located between the two stations. A high-pressure system is located to the north of the western station. A low-pressure system is located to the south of the eastern station.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE TWO STATIONS.
