Question

Westerlies in southern hemisphere are stronger and persistent than in northern hemisphere. Why ? 1) southern hemisphere has less landmass as compared to northern hemisphere. 2) coriolis force is higher in southern hemisphere as compared to northern hemisphere.

Answer 1

Answer:

it's 2)

Explanation:

an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.

And, u know that westerlies blow towards left and that's what written above.

Hope it helps...
