Age of Exploration


What is Europeanization?

A native or inhabitant of Europe. If you need to know where Europe is - a continent in the western part of the landmass lying between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, separated from Asia by the Ural mountains on the east and the Black and Caspian seas on the south east


In 1850 what region of the US was considered the western frontier?

The Western Frontier was from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.


How are the Eastern and western hemisphere divided?

They are separated by imaginary lines called the Prime Meridian and the 180th Meridian (the International Date Line approximately follows this meridian). Since only a small part of Europe is west of the Prime Meridian and even less of Asia is east of the 180th, they are effectively divided by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.


What separates the westerns and eastern hemisphere?

By most standards, the prime meridian (which runs through Greenwich, England) as the eastern edge of the Western Hemisphere (and the western edge of the eastern hemisphere) and its longitudinal opposite at 180 degrees longitude (west or east, which runs through the Pacific Ocean) being the western edge of the western hemisphere and the eastern edge of the eastern hemisphere. The time zones known as Greenwich Mean Time and the International Date Line are sometimes alternatively used to demark the western from eastern hemispheres, but the would not be true hemispheres as those time zones are not straight longitudes.
