Answer:

The westerlies in the Southern Hemisphere are stronger and more persistent because they mostly blow over open sea rather than land.

Explanation:

At those latitudes the proportion of land rather than sea is much higher in the northern hemisphere, and mountains tend to slow down or block the prevailing westerly winds.
