The Southern Hemisphere receives variable amounts of precipitation, influenced by factors such as location, season, and proximity to bodies of water. Regions like the Amazon Rainforest and parts of Australia can experience high levels of precipitation, while others, like arid regions in southern Africa and southern South America, may receive much less.
About 32% of the Earth's total landmass is located in the southern hemisphere.
The Southern Hemisphere has more ocean than the Northern Hemisphere, which acts as a heat sink, moderating the temperature variations. In the Southern Hemisphere, the distribution of land and water is more uniform, leading to smaller temperature fluctuations. The presence of the Antarctic ice sheet also helps stabilize temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere.
Water makes up the vast majority of the surface of the Southern Hemisphere. Only about 10% of the southern hemisphere is land (South America, Australia, Antarctica, southern Africa). The oceans of the southern hemisphere are the South Atlantic, South Pacific, Indian, and Southern. They contain around 70% of the world's seawater.
The southern hemisphere experiences opposite seasons from the northern hemisphere. For example, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere, it is summer in the southern hemisphere. So, the current season in the southern hemisphere depends on the time of year.
The northern hemisphere generally has less precipitation because there is more land area compared to the southern hemisphere, where there is more open ocean. Land heats up and cools down faster than water, creating less moisture in the air. Additionally, the presence of large mountain ranges like the Rockies and the Himalayas in the northern hemisphere can block moisture-laden air masses, leading to decreased precipitation in certain regions.
Antarctica is the driest continent and lies completely in the southern hemisphere. Australia is the driest inhabitedcontinent in the southern hemisphere.

The northern hemisphere has much more land than the southern hemisphere.
Virginia Beach is NOT in the Southern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere is categorized as the southern portion of earth. The Equator separates the hemispheres. South America, Antarctica, most of Africa, much of Central America, Australia, and some of the Middle East is in the Southern hemisphere. The United States, including Alaska and Hawaii are in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.
