Answer 1

Study the direction of wind in the picture. The anticyclone is occurring in the Northern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

In the image, the wind pattern around the high-pressure system (anticyclone) is moving in a clockwise direction, which is characteristic of anticyclones in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. In the Southern Hemisphere, winds around high-pressure systems move counterclockwise.
