Southern Hemisphere

The Southern hemisphere has more water than the Northern hemisphere.

North America, Europe, and Asia are continents that are primarily located in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Northern Hemisphere has most of Earth's land area. Asia, Europe, North America, and most of Africa are located in the Northern Hemisphere. In contrast, the Southern Hemisphere contains most of Earth's water area.

At some point, most of us have heard that water spins down a drain in different directions depending on which hemisphere we happen to be in. The fact is, the Coriolis force (an apparent force as a result of the Earth's spin) has virtually nothing to do with which direction water spins as it empties down a drain. Although this force is "real" and does have an affect on other large, long lived systems that travel great distances (such as hurricanes, high and low pressure systems, and long range artillery shells), water draining from toilets, sinks, and bathtubs are rendered virtually immune from its affects. The Coriolis force is much too weak to have any affect on such small, short lived rotating bodies of water under normal conditions.

The summer solstice occurs around December 21st, while the winter solstice occurs around June 21st in the southern hemisphere. The vernal equinox occurs around September 22nd, and the autumnal equinox occurs around March 20th in the southern hemisphere.

Yes, water temperatures generally tend to cool off as you move away from the equator towards the poles due to the tilt of the Earth and differences in solar radiation. As you move closer to the poles, there is less direct sunlight and warmth from the sun, resulting in cooler water temperatures.

Between roughly 66.5 degrees south and the south pole (90 degrees south latitude),

there is a single period of 24 hours or more without a sunset, once a year.

At 66.5 degrees south, the period is exactly 24 hours long, on December 21.

At the south pole, the period is 6 months long, from September 21 to March 21.

Yes, that's correct. In the Northern Hemisphere, summer occurs from June to August, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it is winter during that time. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the Sun, which causes the hemispheres to receive sunlight differently throughout the year.

In the northern hemisphere, ocean currents turn clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, while in the southern hemisphere, ocean currents turn counterclockwise for the same reason. This effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and influences the direction of all moving objects, including air and water masses.

In the Northern Hemisphere, winds circulate counterclockwise around a tropical storm or hurricane. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which deflects moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.

Hurricanes have always occurred in both hemisphere, likely for millions of years.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the sun appears lower in the sky in December due to the summer solstice occurring during that month, resulting in longer days and higher temperatures. In June, during the winter solstice, the sun is higher in the sky and the days are shorter and cooler.

A city located on a line of latitude labeled 40 degrees north is in the northern hemisphere. The equator is the dividing line between the northern and southern hemispheres. Any location north of the equator is considered part of the northern hemisphere.

In the southern hemisphere, stars appear to move from east to west in a clockwise direction due to the Earth's rotation. Polaris, the North Star, is not visible in the southern hemisphere. The Southern Cross and the constellation Crux are prominent in the southern sky and can be used for navigation.

The tilt of the Earth's axis causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. When one hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, it receives more direct sunlight and experiences summer, while the other hemisphere is tilted away, receiving indirect sunlight and experiencing winter. This tilt is responsible for the seasons in each hemisphere.

The ozone layer is being depleted globally, not just in the southern hemisphere. The Antarctic ozone hole, located over the southern pole, is more pronounced due to unique atmospheric conditions and chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that accumulate in the stratosphere. The depletion affects the entire planet's ozone layer, with varying degrees of severity in different regions.

The most prevalent wind pattern in the temperate zones of the northern hemisphere is from west to east.

High pressure systems generally produce a moderate clockwise rotation of wind.

Low pressure systems produce a counterclockwise rotation.

Several very large areas of the northern hemisphere have very different norms because of the disruption to airflow caused by the Himalayan Mountains in Asia.

Winds in the tropical areas of the northern hemisphere have patterns different from those in the temperate zones.

Isotherms tend to be more irregular in the southern hemisphere due to the distribution of land masses and oceans. The presence of large oceanic bodies can lead to more variation in temperature patterns, resulting in more irregular isotherms. Additionally, the absence of large land masses to stabilize temperatures can also contribute to this irregularity.

southern hemiphere

Because there is more land.

Look up a map of the world and you will see that the Northern Hemisphere has the largest land mass,,,,not the Southern Hemisphere...

Question is still open...

Earth is closest to the sun during the southern hemisphere's summer, which is around early January. This phenomenon is known as perihelion and occurs when Earth reaches its closest point to the sun in its elliptical orbit.

Cyclonic rotational direction is controlled by the coriolis effect induced by the rotation of the earth. Perhaps the simplest way to demonstrate the effect is to place a tennis ball below and above a plate and rotate the plate. The ball on top will be rotated in one direction by its contact with the plate while the ball beneath will rotate in the opposite direction. As the earth spins it acts on the atmosphere in a similar manner.

The Southern hemisphere.

No, constellations appear different due to the opposite orientation of the night sky in the northern and southern hemispheres. However, some constellations like the Orion can be seen from both hemispheres, with slight variations in perspective.

Because Earths axis is tilted.

One example of an archipelago is the Hawaiian Islands, which consist of a chain of volcanic islands in the central Pacific Ocean.
