What does earths rotation cause surface in the northern hemisphere to do?
The longest season on the northern hemisphere is summer.
Where does most of the dry land lie in northern or southern hemisphere?
The northern hemisphere has much more land than the southern hemisphere.
Why does summer occur in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis isn't in alignment with the sun's axis. Rather it is tilted, so during part of the earths orbit around the sun, the northern hemisphere receives sunlight that is more nearly perpendicular to the earths surface. Then when Earth is on the exact opposite side of the sun the opposite applies. Earths rotation around the sun is completely independent of its daily rotation, so its North to South axis remains in a completely fixed position during its entire rotational cycle. (There is a significant wobble, but it has a period of 26,000 years).
Is New Zealand southern hemisphere?
A compass will point the same whether it is in the northern or southern hemisphere. The needle on a compass is designed to magnetically line up with the earths poles. Therefore the north end of the needle of the compass will point to earths north, and the south end of the compass needle will point towards earths south whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere.
How is the earths axis tilted when the northern hemisphere?
The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degress from the plane of the orbit round the sun.
During which portion of the earths revolution around the sun is the northern hemisphere tilted toward the sun?
During the portion that the Earth traverses during the periodfrom roughly March 21 until roughly September 22.

What is each half of the of earths surface called?
To the north of the equator is the northern hemisphere, and to the south is the southern hemisphere.
Why are seasons reversed in northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
How does the rotation of earth modifies ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right

What is summer in the northern hemisphere it is winter in the southern hemisphere why is it so?
that's thanks to the 23 degrees tild of the earths axis
