Africa is the only continent that is strategically situated between the four hemispheres. The continent of North America is entirely located in the Northern Hemisphere and slightly within the Western Hemisphere.
Keeping this in view, what are the 7 continents and their hemispheres?
The Earth is divided into seven continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America.
- Africa. ••• Africa is mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere and is almost entirely surrounded by water.
- Antarctica. •••
- Asia. •••
- Australia. •••
- Europe. •••
- North America. •••
- South America. •••
Subsequently, question is, where are the 4 hemispheres located? A map centered on the Eastern Hemisphere will have the Indian Ocean basin at the center. Any circle drawn around the Earth divides it into two equal halves called hemispheres. There are generally considered to be four hemispheres: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western.
Considering this, which continents are in each hemisphere?
Generally the Eastern Hemisphere includes most of Africa, about half of Antarctica, all of Asia and Australia/Oceania, and most of Europe. The Western Hemisphere includes about half of Antarctica and all of North and South America which includes the Caribbean and Central America as well as Greenland.
How do you know which hemisphere you are in?
Determining whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere is easy—simply ask yourself if the equator is north or south of your position. This tells you your longitudinal hemisphere because the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere are divided by the equator.
