Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Cyclone: air blows in towards the center with a clockwise rotation (S. Hemisphere) or a counter-clockwise rotation (N. Hemisphere). Winds converging in the center are then forced to rise, which leads to adiabatic cooling and the development of clouds and precipitation.
Anticyclone: air blows out (diverges) from the center and rotates clockwise (N. Hemisphere) or counter-clockwise (S. Hemisphere). The air sinking towards the surface of the anticyclone not only causes the high pressure but also is associated with general subsidence, which prevents rising air and adiabatic cooling. Cloud development is stifled and skies are usually clear.
