The Hemispheres worksheet - Free Printable

Let me carefully examine the image to understand what’s being asked.

The task is: *Label the Hemispheres by dragging and dropping the label in the spot provided.*

There is a globe with:
- A horizontal line labeled Equator
- A vertical line labeled Prime Meridian
- Four arrows pointing to four regions around the globe (top, bottom, left, right), each with an empty box for a label.
- Below, four possible labels:
- Northern Hemisphere
- Southern Hemisphere
- Western Hemisphere
- Eastern Hemisphere

So I need to match each direction (top, bottom, left, right) with the correct hemisphere name.

Let’s think step by step:

1. The Equator divides Earth into Northern (above) and Southern (below) hemispheres.
- So the arrow pointing up (above the equator) → Northern Hemisphere
- The arrow pointing down (below the equator) → Southern Hemisphere

2. The Prime Meridian (0° longitude) divides Earth into Western (left side, longitudes west of 0°) and Eastern (right side, longitudes east of 0°) hemispheres.
- So the arrow pointing left (west of Prime Meridian) → Western Hemisphere
- The arrow pointing right (east of Prime Meridian) → Eastern Hemisphere

Now I’ll verify positions on the globe:
- Top arrow → above equator → Northern Hemisphere ✔
- Bottom arrow → below equator → Southern Hemisphere ✔
- Left arrow → west of Prime Meridian (Americas are there) → Western Hemisphere ✔
- Right arrow → east of Prime Meridian (Europe, Africa, Asia) → Eastern Hemisphere ✔

All matches are clear.

Final Answer:
Top box: Northern Hemisphere
Bottom box: Southern Hemisphere
Left box: Western Hemisphere
Right box: Eastern Hemisphere
