Why are satellite dishes in the Northern Hemisphere pointed south and in the Southern Hemisphere there pointed north?
They point to geosynchronous satellites in orbit above the equator. South for the northern hemisphere and north for the southern.
What continent is not in the east hemisphere?
There is no east hemisphere, just north and south. This is because it could cross at any point, so technically all continents would be in it.
What direction do compasses point in the southern hemisphere?
North
Why are north facing slopes in the southern hemisphere warmer than south facing slopes?
For the same reason that south facing slopes in the northern hemisphere are warmer than north facing slopes. From the point of view of the Earth, the sun never strays farther from the equator than the 2 tropics. So in the south the angle of the sun on a south facing slope is always lower than for a north facing slope (in some places it might always be in shadow). For this reason (more direct sunlight) people put solar energy panels on north facing slopes in the south, and the opposite in the north.
What is the southernmost point in the Western Hemisphere?
Other than the South Pole in Antarctica, the southernmost point is Cape Horn in South America, which is the closest point of any continent to Antarctica proper (Larsen Ice Shelf).
Why are satellite dishes in the Northern Hemisphere pointed south and in the Southern Hemisphere there pointed north?
They point to geosynchronous satellites in orbit above the equator. South for the northern hemisphere and north for the southern.

Where does a compass always point?
To the North or South magetic pole. (Depending on which hemisphere you are.)
Why do satellite dishes face south?
Most communication satellites orbit at or near the equator. In the northern hemisphere this is obviously to the south. In the southern hemisphere it is to the north, so the dishes would point north.

Explain how a shadow stick will help you to determine where north and south are?
In the southern hemisphere, the shortest shadow during the day will point North
What is the different of south and north?
they both point opposite ways 1. They are two opposite cardinal points on the compass. 2. Each indicates a different direction 3. North is used as the primary direction reference point in the northern hemisphere, and vice versa with the south in the southern hemisphere.
What continent is not in the east hemisphere?
There is no east hemisphere, just north and south. This is because it could cross at any point, so technically all continents would be in it.
In the southern hemisphere the north pole of a compass needle?
The north pole of a compass needle would still point point towards the north. More precisely, towards the Earth's magnetic south pole, which is close to the geographic north pole.
Is the south pole a continent in the southern hemisphere?
The south pole is a single point on the continent of Antarctica in the southern hemisphere.
What direction do compasses point in the southern hemisphere?
