Which two continents have large amounts of land in both northern and southern hemispher?
Africa and South America have large amounts of land in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
Which hemisphere has the warmest average temperature?
The Southern Hemisphere generally has warmer average temperatures compared to the Northern Hemisphere due to greater amounts of ocean coverage and southward distribution of land masses.
What is the soutern hemisphere?
The Southern Hemisphere is the southern portion or half of the Earth. It begins at the equator at 0° and continues south into higher latitudes until it reaches 90°S The continents making up the Southern Hemisphere include all of Antarctica, around 1/3 of Africa, most of South America and nearly all of Australia. The Southern Hemisphere, like the Northern Hemisphere is also divided into several different regions based on climate. The most prevalent is the southern temperate zone, which runs from the Tropic of Capricorn to the beginning of the Arctic Circle at 66.5°S. This area features a temperate climate which generally has large amounts of precipitation, cold winters and warm summers. Some countries included in the southern temperate zone include most of Chile, all of New Zealand and Uruguay. The area directly north of the southern temperate zone and lying between the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn is known as the tropics- an area which has warm temperatures and precipitation year round
What is different of northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere?
The northern hemisphere consists of all the water and land surface that is north of the equator. It amounts to exactly half of the Earth's surface. The southern hemisphere consists of all the water and land surface that is south of the equator. It exactly covers the other half of the Earth's surface.
What are differences between seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres?
In the northern hemisphere, summer occurs from June to August, while in the southern hemisphere it occurs from December to February. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, causing each hemisphere to receive varying amounts of sunlight at different times of the year, resulting in opposite seasons. Additionally, the timing of solstices and equinoxes is reversed between the two hemispheres.
Why does the nothern and southern hemispheres have different seasons at the same time?
Because the Earth tilts at 23.5°, meaning that sometimes the northern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, giving it summer, while the southern hemisphere is leaning away from it, giving it winter. At other times the southern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, giving it summer, while the northern hemisphere is leaning away from it, giving it winter.
What season is Africa in in October?
Africa is a large continent spreading across the equator, so that large amounts of it are in the northern hemisphere and large amounts in the southern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere October is a Spring month. In the northern hemisphere it is an Autumn month. Around the equator itself there is very little difference in the seasons. So it depends on where in Africa you are in October.
Which two continents have large amounts of land in both northern and southern hemispher?
Africa and South America have large amounts of land in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
Which hemisphere has the warmest average temperature?

Why does the Southern Hemisphere have different seasons?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis, so when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun (Summer, in the North) the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun (Winter, in the South) and vice versa.
Which hemisphere has more are covered by water?
The Western Hemisphere (west longitude) has more water than the Eastern Hemisphere (east longitude), which has more land area. Asia, most of Europe, most of Africa, Australia, and about 70% of Antarctica comprise the land of the Eastern Hemisphere, compared to two continents (Americas) for the Western. The Eastern and Western hemispheres roughly split the Pacific Ocean, plus the Western Hemisphere contains practically all of the Atlantic Ocean.The comparison is about the same if the alternate convention is used, in which the eastern hemisphere is defined as between 20°W and 160°E.(Because of the grouping of the major continents, the southern hemisphere has much more water and the northern hemisphere has much more land.)
Why does the southern hemisphere have summer while the north hemisphere has winter?
This occurs because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. When the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it experiences summer, while the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun and experiences winter. This tilt causes each hemisphere to receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year, resulting in opposite seasons.
What is different of northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere?
The northern hemisphere consists of all the water and land surface that is north of the equator. It amounts to exactly half of the Earth's surface. The southern hemisphere consists of all the water and land surface that is south of the equator. It exactly covers the other half of the Earth's surface.
Why are seasons reversed in the southern hemisphere?
In short, because of the axial tilt of the earth. In May - July, the northern hemisphere is tilted more towards the sun and gets more sunlight at a more direct angle. The reverse is true for the southern hemisphere. In November - January, the situation is reversed; the southern hemisphere gets more direct sunlight.
How much precipitation does the southern hemisphere have?
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.
March 21st is an equinox What part of Earth is directly beneath the Sun on that day?
Don't understand your question. Equinox means "equal night", meaning the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere both receive equal amounts of day and night. It signifies the beginning of Spring in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of Fall in the southern hemisphere.
