Location Terms • Equator- circles the earth like a belt, divides the earth into hemispheres, equator is 0 degrees latitude • Hemisphere- ½ sphere– (Northern, southern, eastern, western) • Prime Meridian- line that runs from north to south, everything to the east of the PM for 180 degrees is the eastern hemisphere while everything to the west of the PM for 180 degrees is the western hemisphere. The PM runs through Greenwich England and is located at 0 degrees longitude.
