The two hemispheres are not separated by any physical barrier. The equator on maps/globes mark the separation.
It's called the equator.
And it's not a meridian, meridians (such as the prime meridian) deal with the earths lines of longitude, aka west to east.
The units dividing the earth north to south are the lines of latitude, zero being the equator.
There is one line, the equator, that separates the northern from the southern hemisphere.
equator
It is all of the Earth's surface north of the equator. The Earth can be divided into northern and southern hemispheres, or into eastern and western hemispheres, which use the arbitrary longitudinal lines (e.g. Prime Meridian).
Seasons are based on the distance to the sun, so the southern and northern hemispheres are the same distance from the sun, hence the same season.
Africa is located in both the Southern and Northern Hemisphere. If your very technical though its really in ALL the hemispheres! the earth is dived into hemispheres by the prime meridian and the Equator. Africa lies in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres almost equally. And while most of Africa lies in the Eastern Hemisphere, a small portion lies in the West.
It is the Equator (zero latitude) that divides the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres.
There is one line, the equator, that separates the northern from the southern hemisphere.
The equator separates the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The equator is an imaginary line that separates the northern and southern hemispheres. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and circles the Earth halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole.
The equator at 0 degrees latitude separates the northern and southern hemispheres. It is an imaginary line circling the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles.
The Equator divides Africa between the northern and southern hemispheres. The Equator is an imaginary line that runs around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into the northern and southern hemispheres.
The Equator (zero latitude) that separates the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) that separates the Western and the Eastern Hemispheres.
The Equator is the line that separates the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is an imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude, halfway between the North and South Poles.
The equator is an imaginary line that separates the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The equator divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It serves as the line of 0 degrees latitude.
