North versus South. What’s really different about the Southern Hemisphere?

For starters, it’s a lot less crowded. Most of the earth’s surface south of the Equator is water, more than 80%. Less than 15% of the world’s population lives in the Southern Hemisphere. The most widely spoken language in the Southern Hemisphere is Portuguese. Remember, most of South America is below the equator and so is a third of Africa.

It’s not all rugged natural beauty. While it’s true that a visit south of the equator is likely to involve a lot of amazing outdoor adventures, the hemisphere does have massive, vibrant cities too. Sao Paula, Brazil is the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere with almost 18 million people. The second largest is Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Because of spatial proximity people in northern hemisphere have close political, cultural and economic ties. Improved lifestyles, greater degrees of human involvement, widespread and well-developed transport and communication supportive of amiable climatic and geographic conditions, higher socio-cultural exchanges among the people, varied religions, sects, cults and varied festivals, rites and rituals and a host of many landmark indices of human development are characteristic features of mankind on the northern hemisphere. In contrast, hostile geographic conditions, mostly unsuitable landforms for rapid progress in transport and communication give a typical look to mankind on the southern hemisphere.

Differences in food habits, mobility, festivals and religious rites are widely noticed between the two hemispheres. However, due to colonisation in the past, in some parts of southern hemisphere lifestyles of the people are replica of northern hemisphere to some extent.
