In general, air masses along the southern u. s tend to be made up of high-pressure air. Air closer to the North Pole tends to be los pressure aid. Why does the high pressure air from the south not blow straight to the north?

The Jetstream

Explanation:

The Jetstream is an air current that blows from west to east blocking the air from going straight to the north pole

radiative zone

explanation    

radiative zone is the layer of the sun which energy is transferred away from the core by radiation. although, the core is the only part of the sun that produces an appreciable amount of heat through fusion. in fact, 99% of the energy produced by the sun takes place within 24% of the sun's radius.
