The Prime Meridian, which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole passing through Greenwich, England, divides the Earth into the eastern and western hemispheres. Countries located to the east of the Prime Meridian are considered part of the Western Hemisphere, while those to the west are part of the Eastern Hemisphere.
What else can I help you with?
What does the earths axis always point towards?
the axis is a imaginary line that cuts trough the earth it points southwest and northeast
When According to the principle of cross cutting relation ships an intrusive rock body is?
When an intrusive rock body cuts across pre-existing rock layers, the Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships states that the intrusion is younger than the rocks it cuts through. This helps geologists determine the relative ages of rock formations in the Earth's crust.
What is lava cuts through rock layers and then hardens to form a feature called?
Lava that cuts across rock layers hardens to form a disk.
Are intrusive rocks younger than the rocks they cut across?
No, intrusive rocks are typically younger than the rocks they cut across. This is because they are formed when molten rock (magma) solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, usually after the surrounding rocks have already formed.
What is the body of water that almost cuts Greece in half?
The body of water that almost cuts Greece in half is the Gulf of Corinth. It separates the Peloponnese peninsula from the rest of mainland Greece.
Is Antarctica is the western or eastern hemisphere?
East HemisphereIts in the Southern hemisphereBut if the question is whether it is in the eastern or western hemisphere, then the answer is both the eastern and western hemisphere.
How can one place be located in either the northern or southern hemisphere and the eastern and western hemisphere?
The equator divides the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere. Therefore any nation or city that lies on the equator contains areas that are in one or the other of the two hemispheres. Kenya in Africa is located in both hemispheres. In South America Ecuador is in both hemispheres among other nations. As for "eastern and western hemispheres" I believe that there is no accepted definition for those terms. However, the "Western World" is considered to be the continents of North America and South America. There is, however no geometric plane that cuts through the earth vertically the way that the equator cuts through the earth

Which hemispheres does the tropic of cancer go through?
The Tropic of Cancer cuts through the Northern, Eastern, and Western Hemispheres.
Is Europe in the eastern or western hemisphere?
Europe is in the eastern hemiphere Europe straddles both hemispheres. What separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres are two lines of longitude: the Prime Meridian and the International Dateline. The Eastern Hemisphere is east of the Prime Meridian, but west of the I.D. The Western Hemisphere is west of the Prime Meridian, but east of the I.D. Now since the Prime Meridian goes through Europe, Europe is apart of both hemispheres, but more so the Eastern Hemisphere than the West. The only countries in Europe to be completely in the Western Hemisphere are Iceland, Ireland, Portugal, and Andorra. However, the P.M. also passes through the UK, France, and Spain, so those are trans-hemisphere countries. Most people incorrectly assume the Americas are the Western Hemisphere but this is not the case, though they are fully in the Western Hemisphere, they are not the only continents apart of it. In fact, most of West Africa is a part of the Western Hemisphere.

What does the eastern hemisphere includes?
great circle formed by the prime meridian and the international datelines cuts earth i n half. the part east of the prime meridian is the?
The line of latitude that cuts the earth in half is called the?
equator. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
What is the main latitude line that cuts the earth into the southern and southern hemisphere?
the answer to that is the EQUATOR.
What imaginary line cuts the earth into 2 equal parts?
The imaginary line that cuts the earth into two equal parts is called the equator. It is an imaginary circle around the Earth that is equidistant from the North and South poles. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
What is the great circle formed by the prime meridian and the international dateline cuts earth in half the part east of the prime meridian?
The great circle formed by the prime meridian and the International Date Line divides the Earth into two equal halves, with the part east of the prime meridian and west of the International Date Line referred to as the Eastern Hemisphere. This line represents a 180-degree separation between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
What cuts the world into north and south latitudes?
The equator cuts the world into north and south latitudes. It is an imaginary line that runs horizontally around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
What bay cuts Maryland almost in half?
Chesapeake Bay cuts Maryland almost in half, separating the eastern and western parts of the state. It is the largest estuary in the United States.
