Answer: because of the absence of landmass in the southern hemisphere..
Explanation:in the northern hemisphere..there is excess of landmasses compared to the southern hemisphere thus the northern landmasses obstruct the westerlies and cause disturbances such as change in the direction of the winds and the rate of speed of the winds(decreases)
Whereas in the southern hemisphere there is no such obstruction..thus it blows faster with more force
Funfact: the westerlies in the northern hemisphere blow from south-west to the north-east direction and in the southern hemisphere from north-west to the south-east direction
