Name the two invisible lines that divide the earth into four hemispheres?

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).

∙ 12y agonothing 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.

∙ 9y agoThe 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.

∙ 9y agoThere 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.

On a topographic map where would you locate the contour interval in the margin?
It would be the difference between the two darker lines, or index lines, and then divide the space in between with your difference.
What is the purpose of dividing the earth into four hermispheres?
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!
Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
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.

Why do some mapmakers divide the eastern and western hemispheres at 20 degrees west?
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.
