The World Hemispheres

Northern and Southern Hemisphere
It’s often easier to study something large if we divide it into smaller parts. The Equator divides the world into Southern and Northern Hemispheres.
15
Eastern and Western Hemisphere
The PRIME MERIDIAN divides the world into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Like the equator its an imaginary line that goes from pole to pole. It passes through Greenwich, England

The Compass Rose There are 4 cardinal directions. - North - East
- South West A mnemonic device to remember this is Never Eat Sour Wheat
18
Lines that run North & South are called Longitude Lines
Lines of Longitude Lines that run North & South are called Longitude Lines They measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian
19
Lines that run East & West are called Latitude Lines
They measure the distance North and South of the Equator. A way to remember which way the Latitude Lines run is “Lat is Flat”

Longitude & Latitude Pilots and ship captains must be able to report exactly where they are at all times. The lines you see on some globes and maps help them do that. Longitude and Latitude are measured in degrees. The symbol for degrees is a small raised circle.
