A globe divided into two hemispheres represents the division of the Earth into two halves along the equator. The Northern Hemisphere is located above the equator, while the Southern Hemisphere is located below it. This division helps us understand the Earth's geography and climate patterns.

Into how many hemispheres is the globe divided?
2 at a time. Hemisphere means one-half. Of course, the Earth's surface can be divided in half north and south of the equator, or in half based on longitude (eastern and western hemispheres). So there are 4 "named" hemispheres. For example, the northern hemisphere contains the northern half of the eastern hemisphere and the northern half of the western hemisphere.
If a vertically globe is cut what hemispheres are created?
Cutting a globe vertically would create two hemispheres: the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. The division between the two hemispheres would run along the Prime Meridian.
If you make a horizontal cut through a globe this creates what two hemispheres?
The Earth is a globe (an oblate spheroid) that is separated into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere by the Equator (zero degrees latitude). The Equator horizontally encircles the Earth.
What hemisphere was the New World located in?
The world can be divided into 4 different hemispheres. If the world is divided in half vertically, there is the Eastern and Western Hemisphere. If the world is divided in half horizontally, there is the Northern as Southern Hemisphere. The New World was located in the Western Hemisphere, as most explorers would say. If one would want to be very specific, one could say that the New World was located in the North Western Hemisphere.
What is composed by two halves called hemispheres?
A sphere composed of two hemispheres would be called a hemisphere. Each hemisphere is a half of a sphere that are divided by an equatorial plane. The earth, for example, is divided into the northern and southern hemispheres.

What is south of the eastern hemisphere?
Well, since it is a globe, it must be the southern hemisphere, if there were south-east hemispheres it would work but, now it is only southern hemisphere. ^.^
Does the Northern Hemisphere have much more water surface than the Southern Hemisphere?
No. A quick look at a map or globe would tell you as much.
How would you describe the northern hemisphere?
The question is far too broad. Everything north of the equator is the northern hemisphere.

What hemisphere is the Arctic Ocean in?
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.
