Let’s solve this step by step.

Q.1 Fill in the blanks:
a) The imaginary line around the middle of the Earth that divides it into two hemispheres is called the
Equator.
→ This is a basic geography fact — the Equator splits Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
b) The 0° meridian, which passes through Greenwich (where the British Royal Observatory is located), is called the
Prime Meridian.
→ This is also standard knowledge — Prime Meridian = 0° longitude.
c) Distance north or south from the Equator is called
Latitude.
→ Latitude lines run east-west but measure how far you are north/south of the Equator.
d) Distance east or west from the prime meridian is called
Longitude.
→ Longitude lines run north-south but measure how far you are east/west of the Prime Meridian.

Q.2 Label the pictures:
We have three globes with different lines drawn on them:
- First globe: Has one red horizontal line around the middle → That’s the
Equator line.
- Second globe: Has vertical lines running from pole to pole → Those are
Longitudes.
- Third globe: Has horizontal lines circling the globe (parallel to the equator) → Those are
Latitudes.
So we match each picture to the correct term.
