Types of Winds\n\n Trade Winds:  In both hemispheres, the winds that blow from 30 degrees latitude from the equator are called trade winds.  The Coriolis effect causes the trade winds to curve. \n\n The Doldrums and Horse Latitudes: Trade winds of Northern and  Southern Hemispheres meet in an area of low pressure around  the equator  called the doldrums.  Sinking air crates an area of high area called horse latitudes. Here the winds are weak.\n\n Westerlies:  Wind belts found in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude. They flow toward the poles in opposite direction of the trade winds.\n\n Polar Easterlies: Wind belts that extend from the poles to 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. They are formed from sinking, cold air moving from the poles toward 60 degrees north and 60 degrees south latitude.\n\n Jet  Streams: Narrow belts of high speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.\n\n Local Winds: An area's geography for example a mountain or a shoreline sometimes produces temperature differences that cause local winds like land and sea breezes.

The Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights and its counter part, Aurora Australis in the southern hemisphere is a phenomenon created from a set of complex interactions between the Earth’s and Sun’s magnetic fields, in conjunction with the passage of photons emitted by the Sun through the Earth’s gravitational sphere of influence. Photons and other high-energy particles are refracted downward by Earth’s gravity as they transverse through its magnetic field with concentrated energy flows at the poles.

I forgot about the water difference ... the one that comes first to my mind is the "Stars" ... you will not have the "North Star" in the Southern Hemisphere ... honestly, I have no idea how Magellin navigated on his journey.

Both the northern and southern hemispheres have winter and summer solstaces, except there are in reverse order: i.e. when the north is having its winter solstace, the south is having its summer solstace and vice versa.\n\nSo which one do you mean? During the north's winter solstace, it is summer in South Africa; and vice versa.\n\nBe aware though, that the earth experiences its apogee from the sun near the time of the northern hemisphere's summer solstace and its perigee near the sun during the northern hemisphere's winter solstace.\n\nThis may easily contribute to the northern hemisphere's milder winters and summers than the southern hemisphere, and explains why the Antarctic is colder than the Arctic.

I guess it's time someone writes down a correct answer...\n\nThe earth rotate on its axis, which runs through the north and south poles.  It so happens that the earth's axis is not perfectly vertical.  Because the axis is at an angle, we spend half the year (it changes during the equinox) with the north pole (and hence the northern hemisphere) tilted towards the sun - this is summer.  We spend the other half of the year with the south pole tilted towards the sun (hence, the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun) - this is the winter.  Now I will leave it up to you to think about why this should make the summer days longer than the winter days.  Try this:  grab a basketball (better yet, a globe), turn off all the lights, point a flashlight at it and spin it with the axis rotated towards the light and with the axis rotated away from the light.  Follow a single point on the top half of the ball and see if you can make sense why this point stays in the light longer when the axis is pointed towards the light versus when the axis is pointed away from the light... \n\nIt's a nice point to make that in the southern hemisphere (Australia, Chile, South Africa, etc.) the days are longer in the winter and shorter in the summer.  If you think for a moment, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out why...

A wide variety of wierd things would happen.  For one temperatures would increase more and decrease to lower values on the sunlit and shaded sides of the world.  Ocean currents and weather patterns would change dramatically.  Winds would blow directly toward the equator in both the southern and northern hemispheres.  Large circular currents called gyres which exist in all ocean basins would dissapear.  The tides would also be much different because the earth's rotation strongly influences tidal characteristics.

Man_with_a_Plan has no proof that there is no proof. His statement that no theories are sound or have proof is just his opinion and purely speculatory. There is no proof.\n\nI, on the other hand, like the "Murder on the Orient Express Theory". I think that there was huge changes in ocean circulation due to the continents coming together WELL BEFORE Pangaea formed. The geologic evidence suggests that the extinction happened in different places around the world at different times, which suggests that no single event is responsible. I believe that cooling events like plume volcanism in the Siberian traps coupled with warming events like methane hydrate release and greenhouse effect along with the continental positioning at the time may have worked together to cause extreme changes in ocean circulation at various parts of the world at different times, attributing to the extinction event.\n\nVariations in temperature due to greenhouse warming and on/off sulphide cooling would have had the greatest immediate impact on planktic (ocean surface) and shallow water organisms. I also think that ocean circulation was also greatly affected not only by the temperature variations but also the circumstantial orientation of the continents. Heat transport to the north would have been innefficient and consequently northern regions would have been subject to extreme cooling, even at relatively low latitudes. In the southern regions there would have been a huge temperature gradient between top and bottom waters. If this was enough to stop deep water formation and ocean turnover, benthic (bottom dwelling) species would have been destroyed by the lack of oxygen and intermediate to surface water species would have suffered from a lack of nutrients. Because most of the Earth's life at the time was in the water, I am quite sure that it was likely some change in ocean circulation that dealt the fatal blows to life. Obviously good carbon isotope data from the period would be needed to verify this hypothesis. \n\nLife on land would have suffered greatly by climate changes induced by changes in ocean circulation, as well as the extreme variations in temperature. Tropical species would have been devastated by cooling events caused by the plume volcanism.\n\nThere is lots of proof for everything; there just is no definite information that can, as of yet, say for sure exactly how it all happened. That's a tough thing to do, but I really dislike people who refute the claims of others without presenting any evidence themselves.

Hot air rises at the equator and moves north.  As it cools, it sinks in the lower mid-latitudes.  Air moves back toward the equator.  This is called the Hadley cell.  Google it for more info.  Its a very general approximation of air movement.  Note that it is influenced by the Coriolis Effect if you look at it in 3 dimensions.\n\nCheck this out:\n\nhttp://www.newmediastudio.org/DataDiscovery/Hurr_ED_Center/Easterly_Waves/Trade_Winds/Trade_Winds.html

Large scale flows depend on the Coriolis effect, which make the motion turn differently in each hemisphere. Therefore cyclones, hurricanes (though they are rare in southern hemisphere) and such events turn clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. As the spatial scale diminishes, the Coriolis effect loses importance. For tornadoes, for instance, it is still sufficient to make 98% of them to turn clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. But, in 2% of the cases they turn differently.\nDust devils are small enough so that they can turn either way, independently of hemisphere.\nOf course, the water flowing down your sink is a very small-scale process. Coriolis effect makes no difference in that case.\nTherefore, it can go either way, both in Australia and in North America, depending only on the sink geometry.

The dominant role of the latitudinal peak of the sea surface temperature (SST) in determining the latitudinal location of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is well-known. However, the roles of the other factors are less well-known\n These other factors include the inertial stability, the interaction between convection and surface fluxes and the interaction between convection and radiation. Since these interactions involve convection, in a model they involve the cumulus parameterization scheme. These factors are studied with a general circulation model with uniform SST and solar angle. Under such model settings the ITCZ can be a single one over the equator or a double one straddling the equator. How this outcome is determined by these factors will be described.

The earth is on an axis so the sun doesnt cover the northern and southern regions as well ........i meant the polar regions in this statement
