The eastern and western hemispheres are separated by a single continuous line which passes through the geographical north and south poles. On the one side of the earth, it is the 0, or Greenwich, Meridian and, on the other (Pacific) side, it is the 180 meridian (which should not be confused with the International Date Line - though this approximates to the 180 meridian, it zig-zags across it repeatedly, at the behest of political convenience).
nothing really, it's just an imaginary line that determines what season it is because of the earths tilt. if it is summer in the northern hemisphere then it is winter on the other and the other way around.
The equator (0° latitude) separates the northern and southern hemispheres, and the prime meridian (0° longitude) and the anti-meridian (180° longitude) separate the eastern and western hemispheres.
There are, in fact, three lines, although only two are named. The named ones are the equator, the Greenwich Meridian. Then there is the unnamed longitude at 180 degrees: this is close to the International Date Line but not exactly the same since the IDL is not a true meridian.
The equator divides the northern and southern hemispheres.

It would be the difference between the two darker lines, or index lines, and then divide the space in between with your difference.
The Earth has been divided into four hemispheres, with lines of Latitude and Longitude in order to enable humans to navigate, reach and know where they were in the vastness of the oceans. Navigation was due mainly to a sextant (and a visible sun) and, eventually, an accurate ship's chronometer (clock). Nowadays, with GPS, and other modern devices, charts on paper are no longer vital, but very important if modern devices suddenly run out of power, or fail!
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.

Prime Meridian
The equator breaks the Earth up into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The prime meridian breaks up Earth into the Western and Eastern hemispheres.

To give the global address of the United States you can say in which hemispheres or halves of earth it lies geographer use two imaginary lines to divide earth into hemispheres

Geographers divide the Earth into hemispheres so that they can navigate. This also helps them to more accurately map the Earth using longitudinal and latitudinal lines.
the one that divides the western and eastern hemispheres is the prime meridian and the one that divides the northern and southern is the equator
The Prime Meridian and the meridian of 180° longitude, together, do.
The longitude called the Prime Meridian divides the globe into eastern and western hemispheres.Could not the Equator enter into the equation?I thinking the equator has something to do withit.imani0906:we divide the earth into hemispheres in north,south,east and west
