Explanation:
We need to label the diagram of Earth using the given terms:
- Southern Hemisphere
- South Pole
- Equator
- North Pole
- Northern Hemisphere
Let’s think about how Earth is divided:
1. The
Equator is the imaginary line that circles Earth halfway between the poles — it separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In the diagram, it’s the dashed horizontal line across the middle of the globe.
2. The
North Pole is the northernmost point on Earth — at the top of the globe (where the axis points upward). So the box pointing to the very top (with the arrow) should be labeled
North Pole.
3. The
South Pole is the southernmost point — at the bottom of the globe (where the axis points downward). So the box pointing to the very bottom (with the arrow) should be labeled
South Pole.
4. The
Northern Hemisphere is the half of Earth above the Equator — so the box on the upper-left side (pointing to the top half of the globe) should be
Northern Hemisphere.
5. The
Southern Hemisphere is the half below the Equator — so the box on the lower-left side (pointing to the bottom half) should be
Southern Hemisphere.
Now match the remaining boxes (right side) — there are three boxes on the right. But we only have five labels total, and five boxes in the diagram (one top-right, one middle-right, one bottom-right, plus two left-side boxes). Wait — let’s count carefully:
From the layout described:
- One box at top-right → points to North Pole (arrow up)
- One box middle-right → likely points to Equator (horizontal dashed line)
- One box bottom-right → points to South Pole (arrow down)
- One box left-middle → points to Northern Hemisphere (upper half)
- One box left-bottom → points to Southern Hemisphere (lower half)
But the list has 5 items, and there are 5 blank boxes — perfect.
So assigning:
- Top-right box (arrow pointing to top tip) →
North Pole
- Middle-right box (arrow pointing to dashed line) →
Equator
- Bottom-right box (arrow pointing to bottom tip) →
South Pole
- Left-middle box (pointing to upper half) →
Northern Hemisphere
- Left-bottom box (pointing to lower half) →
Southern Hemisphere
Yes — that matches all five terms correctly.
Final Answer:
Top-right: North Pole
Middle-right: Equator
Bottom-right: South Pole
Left-middle: Northern Hemisphere
Left-bottom: Southern Hemisphere
