Because of where each continent is located. North America is north of the Equator, where air patterns (weather) travel from west to east. South America is south of the Equator, where air patterns travel from east to west. This is also due to the force of gravity on Earth. North of the Equator the Coriolis effect is from west to east, while south of the Equator it is reversed.
