In which hemisphere, roaring forties, furious fifties and shrieking sixties blowing?
Detailed Explanation:
The Roaring Forties (40°–50°S), Furious Fifties (50°–60°S), and Shrieking Sixties (60°–70°S) are powerful westerly winds in the Southern Hemisphere, blowing unobstructed across vast oceanic expanses with minimal landmass interference.
In the Northern Hemisphere, westerlies are weaker and irregular due to large continental landmasses disrupting wind flow, hence these distinct names apply exclusively to the south.
Therefore, these winds blow in the Southern Hemisphere, making Option 1 the correct answer.
