Here's why:
* Low pressure: Air pressure is lower in the center of the low-pressure system than in the surrounding areas.
* Air flow: Air naturally flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
* Coriolis Effect: Due to the Earth's rotation, moving objects in the Northern Hemisphere are deflected to the right.
* Combined effect: This deflection from the Coriolis Effect causes the inward-flowing air to curve, resulting in a counterclockwise circulation pattern around the low-pressure center.
