What longitudes begin just to the east of the prime meridian and continue eastward to 180 degrees longitude?
It is known as the Eastern Hemisphere, with lines of longitude easterly from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) to the Datum Line of 180 degrees longitude. In the opposite direction from the Prime Meridian is the Western Hemisphere. To the north of the Equator is the Northern Hemisphere, and to the south of the Equator is the Southern Hemisphere.
Which line of longitude is labled 0 degrees and separates the eastern hemisphere from the western hemisphere?
Prime Meridian
What two lines mark zero degrees on the globe in which directions do the lines run?
The Equator is the line of zero latitude, and runs west to east horizontally round the middle of the Earth. The Prime Meridian is the line of zero longitude, and runs vertically from the North Pole to The South Pole, passing through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
If a city is located on a line of latitude labeled 40 degrees north is it located in north hemisphere or southern hemisphere?
All "north" latitudes are in the northern hemisphere.
Is the northern hemisphere Prime meridian up to 180 degrees?
The eastern and western hemispheres each measure 180 degrees in longitude. You're free to draw as few or as many 'lines' in that range as you feel you need, and to number them appropriately according to the position of each 'line'.

Prime Meridian
Is Australia part of the eastern or western hemisphere and is it part of the southern or northern hemisphere?
Australia is in the southern hemisphere; it is entirely south of the equator, a distinct line that goes around the middle of the earth, all points of it equidistant to both poles. There is no such thing as the eastern or western hemisphere because if you head west you will never get to the east or if you head east yo will never get to the west. However, there are arbitrarily defined geographical eastern and western hemispheres. The hemisphere of the earth east of the Prime Meridian (zero degrees longitude, formerly known as the Greenwich Meridian) and west of 180 degrees longitude (the defined location of the International Date Line) is often called the eastern hemisphere, and the hemisphere to the west of the Prime Meridian and east of 180 degrees longitude is called the western hemisphere. According to this definition Australia is in the eastern hemisphere. It is to the east of the Prime Meridian and to the west of the International Date Line.
What countries are on north of prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian is the line of longitude at 0 degrees located through Greenwich, England. It divides the globe into two hemispheres: East and West not North and South so for example Asia is in the Eastern Hemisphere and the Americas are on the Western Hemisphere. The Equator on the other hand is a line of latitude at zero degrees that divides the globe into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. England, France, and Spain are countries in the northern hemisphere that have the prime meridian passing through its border.
