Question 1: What is the name of this line at 0 degrees latitude?
- The image shows a horizontal line running across the middle of the Earth.
- This line is the
Equator, which is located at 0 degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere (above it) and the Southern Hemisphere (below it).
Answer: B. Equator

Question 2: What is the name of the line at zero degrees longitude?
- The image shows a vertical line running through the middle of the Earth.
- This line is the
Prime Meridian, which is located at 0 degrees longitude. It is used as the reference point for measuring longitude east and west.
Answer: C. Prime Meridian

Question 3: To locate the absolute location of places on Earth, one must look at:
- The absolute location of a place on Earth is determined using a coordinate system based on latitude and longitude.
- Latitude lines run horizontally (east-west), and longitude lines run vertically (north-south). Together, they form a grid that helps pinpoint exact locations.
Answer: A. the intersecting lines of latitude and longitude
---
Question 4: Which lines run on a globe from east to west?
- Latitude lines are horizontal lines that run parallel to the Equator. They divide the Earth into equal segments and run from east to west.
- Longitude lines, on the other hand, are vertical lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole.
Answer: D. latitude lines

Question 5: Latitude lines go from east to west.
- As explained in Question 4, latitude lines are horizontal and run from east to west.
Answer: A. True
---
Question 6: Lines of latitude divide the world into what two hemispheres?
- Lines of latitude divide the Earth into the
Northern Hemisphere (above the Equator) and the
Southern Hemisphere (below the Equator).
- The Equator (0 degrees latitude) is the dividing line between these two hemispheres.
Answer: Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere
