It is true that it is cold.
Yes, it is true. In December, which is summer in the southern hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth causes the southern hemisphere to be tilted towards the sun. This results in longer days and shorter nights in the southern hemisphere during this time of the year. Conversely, the northern hemisphere experiences its shortest daytime and longest nighttime in December.
The Earth is closer to the Sun by about 3 million miles (5 million km) in January than in July. This would seem to make the summer temperatures hotter in the Southern Hemisphere (and the winters colder). However, this is only true of localized regions. Most of the Southern hemisphere is water, which does not increase in temperature as much as land. The maritime climates of the Southern hemisphere are often cooler during their summer than summer in the continental areas of the Northern hemisphere.
In general, it is Coriolis effect that initiates and maintains the rotation of a tropical cyclone. This phenomenon causes cyclones south of the equator to rotate clockwise, and those north of the equator to rotate anti-clockwise.
Yes, the Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, impacts surface ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere by deflecting them to the right. This deflection is strongest near the poles and weaker along the equator. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, surface currents bend to the left due to the Coriolis effect.
Wind direction is primarily influenced by the pressure gradient force, which is caused by differences in air pressure. The Coriolis effect, a result of Earth's rotation, deflects wind to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, but it does not directly determine wind direction.
The antarctic ice sheet in the southern hemisphere is the only true ice sheet that remains on the planet.
The antarctic ice sheet in the southern hemisphere is the only true ice sheet that remains on the planet.
The first day of winter everywhere in the Southern Hemisphere is June 21.
True
sure
No, it is not true. Due to the tilting of the world, when it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, and visa versa.
No. The southern hemisphere experiences its longest daytime hours in December. the shortest daytimes are in the northern hemisphere.
true
True
Countries south of the Equator. When its hot in July in the Northern Hemisphere, its winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The reverse is also true - when it is a chilly February in the Northern Hemisphere, it is warm summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
Yes, it is true. In December, which is summer in the southern hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth causes the southern hemisphere to be tilted towards the sun. This results in longer days and shorter nights in the southern hemisphere during this time of the year. Conversely, the northern hemisphere experiences its shortest daytime and longest nighttime in December.
True: Australia is on the Southern Hemisphere, while Mexico is on the Northern Hemisphere.
