What are the two imaginary dividing lines of the hemisphere?

The two imaginary dividing lines of the hemisphere are the equator, which divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.


How do lines of latitude and longitude determine what hemisphere a place is located in?

Lines of latitude measure the distance north or south of the equator, dividing the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Lines of longitude measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, dividing the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. By using the intersection of these lines, we can determine which hemisphere a place is located in.

What separates earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?

The two hemispheres are not separated by any physical barrier. The equator on maps/globes mark the separation.It's called the equator.And it's not a meridian, meridians (such as the prime meridian) deal with the earths lines of longitude, aka west to east.The units dividing the earth north to south are the lines of latitude, zero being the equator.


What are the invisible lines around the earth?

The invisible lines around the earth are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north and south of the equator, while lines of longitude run north-south and measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian. These lines help in locating specific points on Earth's surface.
