Do some places in the world call hurricanes typhoons?
Yes. If a hurricane occurs in the Pacific Ocean north of the equator and west of the International Date Line it is called a typhoon.
What do you call the line of latitude 66.5 degrees south of the equator?
That's the Tropic of Capricorn, no matter what I call it.
What do you call the line that divides the globe into 2 spheres?
If you are talking about the line that separates the north hemisphere and the south hemisphere, it is the equator.
What splits the sky in two from north to south?
There is an imaginary plane through the Earth that splits the world into "north" and "south". The circle around the Earth where that plane meets the Earth's surface is called the "equator". In astronomy, we extend that plane into space; this is the "celestial equator". With geography on the Earth, we measure this in latitude north or south of the equator. In astronomy, we call it "declination", but it's the same idea.
Are storms in the Pacific Ocean called hurricanes?
It depends on 3 things.They must be tropicalThey must produce sustained winds of at least 74 mphThey must occur in the potion east of the International Date Line and north of the equatorStorms of the same type west of the date line are called typhoons and ones south of the equator are called cyclones. The only country in the world that has hurricanes on the Pacific Ocean is Mexico, no other, none, we have them all, you like everybody else have them over our gulf, The Gulf of Mexico, but we have the largest Pacific sea board in America, so we get all the storms which we always call Huricanes.

What do you call the imaginary line that divides the north and south halves of earth?
The equator divides the earth between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere
Is there a imaginary pole going through the earth call the equator?
No- the equator is an imaginary line running around the circumference of the earth's centre. The earth's axis is an imaginary pole which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole
How do you call the region that lies on the latitudes between equator and polar region?
The region between the equator and the north pole is called the "northern Hemisphere". The region between the equator and the south pole is called the "southern Hemisphere". The two of them put together cover the whole earth.
What do you call the line of latitude that is exactly halfway between the north pole and the south pole?
The equator (zero degrees latitude) is a line halfway between the North Pole (90 degrees N latitude) and the South Pole (90 degrees S latitude). Any point on the equator is equidistant from the poles.
What do you call a scientist that study hurricanes?
Meteorologist :D
