Question

isotherms in the southern hemisphere are almost parallel to the equator compared to those in the northern hemisphere. why?

Answer 1

The Southern hemisphere is more uniformly water than the Northern hemisphere. Large landmasses in the Northern hemisphere cause isotherms to bend toward the equator in winter and poles in summer as they change their temperature much more than the water.

Global patterns of air temperature are a reflection of the relative importance of sun angle and insolation intensity, day length, and location with respect to water bodies. We have found that low latitude locations experience less variation in sun angle and day length than do mid- and high latitude locations. Places located near large bodies of water tend to have more moderate temperatures than those further inland.

Answer 2

Due to the market contrast of and and water in northern and the southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

• The isotherms are generally are parallel to the latitudes and effects of altitudes are well seen, but they deviate in the months of Jan and the July more in the northern hemisphere as compared to the southern hemisphere due to the presence of the landmasses.

• The flow of the warm currents like the gulf stream and the north Atlantic drift makes the north Atlantic ocean water warmer and the isotherms bends towards the north over the continents and bent to south making the isotherms more irregular.
