Differences between Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere Flashcards
1
Q
North Hemisphere
A
North of the equator (above)
2
Q
North Hemisphere
A
More landmass, less water
3
Q
North Hemisphere
A
Around 90% of human population in n/h
4
Q
North Hemisphere
A
Pollution is higher in n/h (links with human population)
5
Q
North Hemisphere
A
Storm movement (Coriolis effect) - hurricanes and tropical storms rotate clockwise in the n/h (Deflection)
This affects the movement of water and atmospheric air/winds, which can greatly affect regular weather and climate conditions.
6
Q
South Hemisphere
A
South of the equator (below)
7
Q
South Hemisphere
A
Less landmass, more water
8
Q
South Hemisphere
A
Storm movement (Coriolis effect) - hurricanes and tropical storms rotate anti-clockwise in the s/h (Deflection)
This affects the movement of water and atmospheric air/winds, which can greatly affect regular weather and climate conditions.
