1 Hemispheres

2 What is hemisphere? A hemisphere means half of a sphere. HEMI= half
SPHERE= circle or globe

3 There are 4 hemispheres. Northern Hemisphere Southern Hemisphere
Eastern Hemisphere Western Hemisphere

4 Imaginary lines: There are 2 main imaginary lines that divide the hemispheres. 1. Equator 2. Prime Meridian

5 NORTH SOUTH * Everything above the line is NORTH
EQUATOR: Divides the earth into northern and southern hemispheres * Everything above the line is NORTH * Everything below the line is SOUTH NORTHERN HEMISPHERE NORTH SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE SOUTH

6 WEST EAST * Everything right of the line is EAST
PRIME MERIDIAN: Divides the earth into eastern and western hemispheres * Everything right of the line is EAST * Everything left of the line is WEST WESTERN HEMISPHERE EASTERN HEMISPHERE WEST EAST

7 ON YOUR MAP…. NORTHERN HEMISPHERE EQUATOR SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

8 WESTERN HEMISPHERE EASTERN HEMISPHERE
ON YOUR MAP…. WESTERN HEMISPHERE EASTERN HEMISPHERE PRIME MERIDIAN
