Which of the following statements is true regarding proportion of land and oceans in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere? Which
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The Southern Hemisphere is dominated by oceans, relative to the Northern Hemisphere.

Explanation: The Southern Hemisphere is dominated by maritime influences, whereas the Northern Hemisphere is dominated by continentality.

The Southern Hemisphere has much less land than the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in weaker asymmetries at its lower boundary. A more zonally symmetric circulation, with smaller-amplitude stationary waves, is thus expected. Due to the larger fraction of the ocean, the seasonal cycle will also be muted. The seasonal change in surface temperature, for example, will be smaller than in the Northern Hemisphere.
