How are the seasons in the nothern and southern hemisphere different?
The rotation of the Earth is from west to east (the sun rises in the east) and if your right hand points to the east, north is then in front of you (south is behind you). Or, you could also tell by continent. North America and Eurasia are in the northern hemisphere, Africa and South America are partly in the northern, and partly in the southern hemisphere, Australia is entirely in the southern hemisphere.
Because the Northern hemisphere has alot more land mass than the Southern hemisphere.

Name the two invisible lines that divide the earth into four hemispheres?
The eastern and western hemispheres are separated by a single continuous line which passes through the geographical north and south poles. On the one side of the earth, it is the 0, or Greenwich, Meridian and, on the other (Pacific) side, it is the 180 meridian (which should not be confused with the International Date Line - though this approximates to the 180 meridian, it zig-zags across it repeatedly, at the behest of political convenience).

How many different types of maps are there?
There are 5 types of weather maps. There are Pressure Maps, Station Model Maps, Aviation Maps, Temperature Maps, and Streamline Maps.
If you lived in the southern hemisphere how would seasons be diffrent and why?
It does not. Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth on its axis. When that hemisphere is tilted toward the sun there will be summer. Away-- winter.
Why do Eastern and Southern Hemisphere have opposite seasons?
The earth revolves around the sun but it's tilted. The angle of the tilt doesn't change just the position of the planet. The summer is when that part of the globe is tilted towards the sun. If the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun the southern hemisphere would be tilted away. The part tilted towards the sun gets more sunlight and is warmer. The part tilted away wouldn't get as much light and would be colder.
Is Tunisia in the northern or southern hemisphere?
Africa is in the middle of the earth meaning that Africa is in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
