What cuts the world into west and east longitudes?
The Prime or Greenwich Meridian
Degrees to the left of the prime meridian are which direction?
That's going to depend on how you're holding your map or globe. -- If the north pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime Meridian mark west longitudes. -- If the south pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime one mark east longitudes. -- If the north and south poles are toward the sides of the map, then the Prime Meridian is a horizontal line between them, and there is nothing on Earth to the left or right of it.
