Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere or prime meridian and the equator???
Some continents, like Africa and North America, are located in multiple hemispheres because they straddle the equator or the Prime Meridian, which are the lines that divide the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and the Eastern and Western hemispheres, respectively. This positioning causes these continents to be situated in more than one hemisphere.
Yes, the equator serves as the dividing line between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Locations north of the equator are in the Northern Hemisphere, while locations south of the equator are in the Southern Hemisphere.
the equator
The globe is divided into the northern and southern hemisphere (divide by the equator) , and the eastern and western hemisphere (divided by the International Dateline).
yes. the equator is a imaginary line dividing the earth in two hemispheres.
The Prime Meridian and the Equator divide the Earth into four hemispheres: Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, while the Equator divides the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The northern hemisphere is north of the equator, and Washington DC is north of the equator, so it's in the northern hemisphere. No. The coordinates of the city are roughly 38°53' N 77°02' W which places it solidly in the Northern hemisphere (and Western hemisphere if you want to divide it that way instead), but NOT in the Southern hemisphere.
The Arctic Ocean lies at the top of the northern hemisphere. Since the North Pole lies more or less in the middle of it, it would be considered to be split about evenly between the eastern and western hemispheres if you want to divide the globe that way.
The Caribbean Sea is located in the Western Hemisphere, and also in the Northern Hemisphere (since there are two different ways to divide the Earth into hemispheres). You could call it the north-west quadrant.
It is in the Northern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere - take your pick - it depends on whether you want to divide the globe along the 0° and 180° longitudes or along the equator.
The equator (0° latitude) divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian (0° longitude) divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
