The Prime Meridian runs through the Atlantic Ocean, intersecting both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It also passes through parts of Europe and Africa, specifically the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, and Ghana.

Is Greenwich meridian an ocean longitude?
The Greenwich meridian (Prime Meridian) is a line between the north and south poles, with a length that's half of the earth's polar circumference. Part of it crosses oceans, to be sure. But it also traverses plenty of land, in England, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana, and Antarctica.
What is the largest land area both west of the Prime Meridian and entirely north of the Equator?
I think most folks would accept the North American continent as a good answer to that question, even though a little piece of Alaska's Aleutian Islands does tail off across the 180 meridian and into the eastern Hemisphere.

Where is the Prime Meridien?
The Prime Meridian, also called the Greenwich Meridian, is 0 degrees longitude. The observatory where the Meridian is defined is in Greenwich, England. The line passes from the North Pole through England, Europe, Africa, and ends at the South pole in Antarctica. Opposite the Prime Meridian is the International Date Line, or the Ante-Meridian. The choice of the Meridian is entirely abitrary. At various time the Meridian has been set at other locations. The US even used Washington, DC, as the Prime Meridian. Standardization was important for global navigation, so it was finally agreed to use Greenwich as the meridian "0" reference. This is especially convenient because the Ante-Meridian dateline is located where there are no large land masses.

What is the southermost country located on the prime meridian?
The southernmost land crossed by the Prime Meridian is the Antarctic continent, but there are no countries there. The southernmost country on the Prime Meridian is Ghana.
Which continent has land in each of the earths hemispheres?
Africa is the only continent that has land in all four hemispheres—Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western. The Prime Meridian and the Equator intersect in Africa, dividing the continent into these hemispheres.

Which line show is how land is divided into countries?
Prime Meridian
Where is zero degreslatitude and zero degrees longitude?
Where the Equator and the Greenwich meridian intersect. This point of intersection is not on land, it is in the Atlantic Ocean in the gulf of Guinea.
Which continent with land is in all four hemispheres?
Africa is the only continent that is situated in all four hemispheres: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres. The Prime Meridian and Equator intersect in Africa, dividing the continent into four sections, each in a different hemisphere.

Which mountain ranges does the prime meridian pass though?
The Prime Meridian passes through several mountain ranges, most notably the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and the Southern Highlands in Tanzania. It also crosses areas of the Andes in South America, although the meridian itself does not directly traverse the main peaks of the range. Overall, while the Prime Meridian primarily runs through land and ocean, its intersection with these mountain ranges highlights its geographical significance.
