Why do you think the Gulf Stream current does not flow down into the Southern Hemisphere?
The Gulf Stream current primarily flows in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect, which causes moving water to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. Additionally, the Atlantic Ocean's geography, including the presence of landmasses like North America and the Caribbean, channels the current northward. The contrast in temperature and salinity between the warmer waters of the Gulf Stream and the cooler waters of the Southern Hemisphere also creates a natural barrier that prevents the current from flowing southward.
Why doesn't the Gulf Stream current flow down into the southern hemisphere?
Because the cold water at the bottom of the ocean flows south, which pulls the warmer surface layers of the Gulf Stream north.

Why don't people who live in the southern hemisphere feel upside down?
Gravity pulls all things toward the center of the earth-- as a result, everyone on earth only feels upside down if their head is pointing toward the ground or they are high/drunk on something. North and South are just directions given to indicate the intersection of earth and its axes at the extreme edges of the earth. North is considered "up" simply because more people live in the northern hemisphere and most people like to think that they are "up." In fact, people in the southern hemisphere, especially Australia, have maps that we would consider upside-down, where north is down and south is up.
What is the difference between cities of northern and southern hemisphere?
Cities in the northern hemisphere are located above the equator line, while cities in the southern hemisphere are situated below it. This difference affects factors such as climate, seasons, and daylight hours in each hemisphere. Additionally, cities in the northern hemisphere experience winter during the months of December, January, and February, while cities in the southern hemisphere experience winter during June, July, and August.
