Which continent's are divided by the 0 degrees line of latitude's?
The zero degree line of latitude, also known as the equator, crosses through three continents. Africa, South America, and the islands of Asia are all divided by the equator.
Why do the geographers divide the earth into hemispheres?
Mainly to distinguish between the zero degree latitude line (equator) and the zero degree longitude line (prime meridian), because these lines are the starting points for the cardinal directions north and south latitudes or parallels and the east and west longitudes or meridians, which is used to determine absolute locations of places.
Is the equatator a parallel or a meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
What is the name for the lines of zero degree latitude and zero degree longitude?
0 longitude is the prime meridian. 0 latitude is the equator.

The parallel of zero latitude on the earth is usually referred to as the earth's 'equator'.
