Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
What is the Moment of inertia of a solid hemisphere?
The moment of inertia of a solid hemisphere rotating around its axis is given by (2/5) * m * r^2, where m is the mass of the hemisphere and r is the radius.

What happens when air rushes into a low pressure region in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, air rushes from higher pressure areas towards lower pressure areas due to the Coriolis effect and pressure gradient force. This movement creates winds that rotate counterclockwise around low pressure regions.

What is a line that divides the earth into two equal halves called?
prime merideane and equator
The equator divides the earth into two equal halves.
A barometer typically consists of a glass tube filled with mercury or a liquid metal, sealed at one end and open at the other. The open end is placed in a container of mercury, allowing atmospheric pressure to push the mercury up the tube. The height of the mercury column is a measure of the atmospheric pressure.
What is the area called from the equator to the north pole?
Well, the area spanning from the equator to the north pole is called the northern hemisphere, so by process of elimination this means you should give up on life if you find yourself asking this question.
What is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres?
The imaginary line is the equator, which runs east and west around the center of the globe.
The equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at 0° degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres. The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox.
Locations on the surface are defined by their angular distance north or south of the equator, which is latitude, and by their angular distance east or west of an arbitrary north-south line (the Prime Meridian) which is longitude.
What hemisphere has more land?
Scientists now believe that at one point, several billion years ago, there was only one continent, which we call Pangea. Because of plate tectonics, which is the movement of the plates making up the crust of the Earth, that super continent has broken up, and parts of it are drifting erratically around the Earth. It is purely chance that so much continental crust is concentrated in one hemisphere.
How did the Prime meridian get its name?
It was chosen because, at the time England was the biggest country and superpower at the time. So the agreement was to run the prime meridian through Greenwich. It is also the closests to the middle of the earth's sphere.
What hemisphere and continent is Idaho located on?

Which of these lines divided the earth into the northern and Southern Hemisphere?
It is the Equator (zero Latitude) that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What divided the Earth into eastern and western hemisphers?
The Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, is what separates the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres. This imaginary line runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and serves as the reference point for determining east and west.
Which state is just south of New Hemisphere's?
There is no state south of the New Hemisphere. The New Hemisphere is not a geographic region or boundary.
Which continent in the western hemisphere is also partly in the northern and southern hemispehere?
South America is the continent in the western hemisphere that is partly in the northern and southern hemispheres. The equator runs through the continent, dividing it between the two hemispheres.
