Atmospheric circulation patterns are of critical importance in determining the climate of a location. On a global scale, atmospheric motions transport heat from the topics towards the poles. Evaporation over the oceans supplies the water molecules that support precipitation over land. These circulation patterns are in large part driven by energy differences between regions of the globe. As discussed in Chapter 7, dry climates are associated with the descending branch of the Hadley Cell while moist climates coincide with the ascending branch. On a regional scale, precipitation on the lee side of a mountain is typically less than on the windward side. On a still smaller scale, the amount of snow downwind of a snow fence is on average larger than the amount upwind.

What are the hemispheres of the Earth?
A hemisphere is one half of a sphere, so any sphere can be divided equally in two by a plane through its center.
The geographical hemispheres of Earth are the cartological divisions of its surface. The most common are the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (separated by the equator) and the Eastern and Western Hemispheres (defined by the arbitrary E and W longitude designations). Locations up to 180° west of the Greenwich or Prime Meridian are the Western Hemisphere. Locations up to 180° east are in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Continents entirely in the Western Hemisphere are North and South America. Continents entirely in the Eastern Hemisphere are Asia and Australia. Most of Africa, most of Europe, and half of Antarctica are also in the Eastern Hemisphere.
The only continents that lie entirely in the Southern Hemisphere are Australia and Antarctica.
