Yes, the Northern Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere are examples of regions based on geographic divisions. The Northern Hemisphere is divided by the equator, while the Eastern Hemisphere is typically divided by the Prime Meridian. These regions are defined by their unique hemispheric characteristics and have distinct geographic, climatic, and cultural features.
Tundra and taiga are found only in the northern hemisphere because of the Earth's distribution of land and the polar climate conditions found in this region. The unique combination of low temperatures, short growing seasons, and dry conditions in the northern hemisphere create the necessary environment for tundra and taiga ecosystems to thrive.
Polaris is situated almost along the axis of the earth's rotation, above the North Pole. As a result, to viewers in the Northern hemisphere, it appears to be stationary above the pole and so acts as a direction finder.
There is no constellation like it in the Southern Hemisphere... but the Southern Cross points to where a South Star would be located, if one were visible.
The continent of Africa is a unique one. It's the only continent that has some of its territory in the eastern, western, northern, and southern hemispheres.
The star that can only be seen in the northern hemisphere is Polaris, also known as the North Star. It is located nearly directly above the North Pole and serves as a crucial navigational reference for travelers in the northern regions. While it is not the brightest star in the sky, its unique position makes it a reliable indicator of true north. Polaris is part of the Ursa Minor constellation and is circumpolar, meaning it is visible all year round in the northern hemisphere.
Ecuador is located in the North and South Hemisphere.
At over 4,000 miles long it is the longest river in the world. The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert to the sea and it diminishes because of evaporation.
South-facing mountains in the Northern Hemisphere receive more direct sunlight, leading to warmer temperatures compared to the north-facing slopes. This exposure to sunlight creates a microclimate that is typically drier and sunnier, allowing for different vegetation to thrive and supporting unique ecosystems.
Africa is the only continent that is situated in all four hemispheres—the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. This unique geographical positioning sets Africa apart from the other continents.
There are many countries with many cities in the Southern Hemisphere.Australia: Canberra.New Zealand: Auckland.
If you travel further south below the equator, you will enter the Southern Hemisphere, which encompasses regions like South America, Africa, Australia, and parts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This area experiences different climatic conditions compared to the Northern Hemisphere, including opposite seasons; for example, when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Additionally, you will encounter diverse ecosystems, wildlife, and cultures unique to this part of the world.
