Why are continental climates found in the Northern Hemisphere but not in the Southern Hemisphere?

Because they contain more land.

Continental climates are found in the Northern Hemisphere more because the Northern Hemisphere is broader and has more land mass than the Southern Hemisphere. There isn't a lot of land in the Southern half and this most likely results in why the Northern Hemisphere has continental climates.

I hope this helps!
