Let’s solve each part step by step.

Question 3.2:
We are asked to divide the globe with a vertical line that represents something, and then label each hemisphere.

A vertical line on a globe that divides it into two equal halves is called the Prime Meridian (0° longitude). This line runs from the North Pole to the South Pole through Greenwich, England.

- The side east of this line is the Eastern Hemisphere.
- The side west of this line is the Western Hemisphere.

So:
> b) Prime Meridian
Label: Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere

*(Note: Sometimes people use the Equator for horizontal division — but here it says “vertical line”, so it must be Prime Meridian.)*

Question 4.1: Mark 40°N 40°W

This means:
- Latitude: 40 degrees North → go up from the equator to 40°N
- Longitude: 40 degrees West → go left from the Prime Meridian (0°) to 40°W

On the map, find where 40°N latitude line crosses 40°W longitude line.

Looking at the world map provided:

→ That point is in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Europe/Africa, east of North America.

You would mark an “a” there.

Question 4.2: Mark 60°S 140°E

Latitude: 60° South → below the equator, near Antarctica
Longitude: 140° East → far right side of the map (since 180° is the International Date Line)

Find where 60°S meets 140°E.

→ That’s in the Southern Ocean, south of Australia.

Mark a “b” there.

Question 4.3: Name the continent at 20°S 20°E

Latitude: 20° South → southern hemisphere
Longitude: 20° East → eastern hemisphere

Look at the map:

→ At 20°S and 20°E, you’re in Africa — specifically, around countries like Namibia or Botswana.

✔ So the answer is: Africa

Final Answer:

3.2 b) Prime Meridian
Hemispheres: Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere

4.1 Mark “a” at 40°N 40°W (in Atlantic Ocean)
4.2 Mark “b” at 60°S 140°E (south of Australia)
4.3 Africa
