The Southern Hemisphere is Colder, Stormier, and... Cleaner

The report was not up to standard

The report did not meet the expected standards. it’s important to remember that the differences between the two hemispheres are real and they can have a real impact on the lives of people living in both regions.

The Northern Hemisphere is generally warmer than the Southern Hemisphere, and this has puzzled scientists since the 1500s. A likely culprit is a phenomenon called meridional heat transport, where more solar energy hits the Earth at the equator than at the poles. This heat is carried in the atmosphere and in the ocean and moved away from the equator by currents and prevailing wind patterns.

The Southern Hemisphere is also stormier than the North, with about 24 percent more storm activity. This may be due to mountains disrupting wind patterns in the Northern Hemisphere, as well as ocean circulation. However, due to climate change, the Southern Hemisphere is becoming stormier faster.

These differences between the two hemispheres can have a real impact on the lives of people living in both regions.
