      I’m guessing it’s because they rotate in different direction in the northern and Southern hemisphere.

      So crossing would imply switching direction, which would require to put that energy “somewhere” and it’s physically not possible.

        No. It’s because the earth spins faster there. Them turning a certain direction is a result, not a cause.
