What are Hemispheres? Hemisphere – any one of four overlapping halves of Earth Four Hemispheres Northern Hemisphere Southern Hemisphere Eastern Hemisphere Western Hemisphere

Northern and Southern Hemisphere The Northern and Southern Hemisphere are created by an imaginary east-west line known as the equator.

Eastern and Western Hemisphere The Eastern and Western Hemisphere are created by an imaginary north-south line known as the prime meridian.

Latitude Latitude – imaginary parallel lines that run around Earth in an east-west direction; one of these lines is known as the Equator. Parallel – another name for a line of latitude

Longitude Longitude – imaginary lines that run in a north-south direction from one pole to another; one of these lines is known as the Prime Meridian Meridian – another name for a line of longitude

Global Grid Global Grid – a pattern of crossed lines formed by lines of latitude and lines of longitude.
