Question

With regard to wind circulation patterns, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are

mirror images of each other.

a. True

b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

The prevailing wind patterns on the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere, despite not being the same, are actually a mirror image of each other. The mirror image shows the same at both sides, but this can lead to a confusion when it comes to the wind patterns. What seems to be the same, is actually because the winds have the opposite directions, so the winds that move from northeast toward southwest are moving from the southeast toward northwest.
