Resumen:
The Earth is not a perfect sphere and continents are not
proportionally distributed in it. The Northern Hemisphere
is dominated by land and the Southern Hemisphere by
oceans. Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego are the only
continental regions to test the windblown belt effects at
high latitudes of the Oceanic Hemisphere. Interannual
effects (El Nin?o?Southern Oscillation cycles) may sig-
nificantly affect the areas of recharge of their watersheds.
Quaternary marine terraces are witness of the interaction
between plates, and the climatic changes that caused
different distribution of oceans and glaciers (Fig. 1).
