The Four Hemispheres of the Earth

The Four Hemispheres

In this section, we will explore the concept of hemispheres and how they divide the world into smaller sections for easier location identification on maps or globes.

The Northern and Southern Hemispheres

  • The world can be divided into northern and southern halves.
  • The equator, located at zero degrees latitude, divides the world into two equal halves.
  • Any place above the equator is in the northern hemisphere, while any place below the equator is in the southern hemisphere.

The Eastern and Western Hemispheres

  • The world can also be divided into eastern and western halves.
  • The prime meridian, located at zero degrees longitude, divides the world into equal east and west halves.
  • Any place to the left of the prime meridian is in the western hemisphere, while any place to the right of it is in the eastern hemisphere.

Continents and Hemispheres

  • Each of the seven continents is located in at least two hemispheres.
  • Europe, Antarctica, Asia, Africa, Australia, North America, and South America are all found in different combinations of hemispheres.
  • Africa is unique as it lies in all four hemispheres - northern, southern, eastern, and western.
