What also divides the earth into hemispheres?

You can imagine an enormous knife, cutting the Earth into two pieces. Whenever the center of the Earth is on the cut, the pieces are equal, and they're both hemispheres. If you cut through the equator, then you have the northern and southern hemispheres. If you cut through the Prime Meridian, then you have the eastern and western ones.. If you cut any other way, then you have a couple of hemispheres that are not of much use to anyone, since they have no relationship to the Earth's rotation, and those don't have names.

When a sphere is cut with a vertical angled plane, the cross-section will be an ellipse. If the sphere is then cut by a horizontal plane, the cross-section will be a circle. Thus, the combination of these two cuts results in an elliptical cross-section from the angled cut and circular cross-sections from the horizontal cuts at various heights.
