Let’s go step by step to solve each question based on the globe diagrams.
---
1.1 Label the line A.
Line A is the horizontal red line going across the middle of the Earth in the first globe. This line divides the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres. That’s called the
Equator.
→ Answer: Equator
---
1.2 Label the line B.
Line B is the vertical red line going from top to bottom through the center of the second globe, passing through Africa and South America. This line runs from pole to pole and is used as a reference for longitude. It’s called the
Prime Meridian (also known as the Greenwich Meridian).
→ Answer: Prime Meridian (or Greenwich Meridian)
---
1.3 Label the hemisphere C.
Hemisphere C is the upper half of the first globe — above the equator. That’s the
Northern Hemisphere.
→ Answer: Northern Hemisphere
---
1.4 Label the hemisphere D.
Hemisphere D is the lower half of the first globe — below the equator. That’s the
Southern Hemisphere.
→ Answer: Southern Hemisphere
---
1.5 Label the hemisphere E.
In the second globe, hemisphere E is the left side — west of the Prime Meridian (line B). That’s the
Western Hemisphere.
→ Answer: Western Hemisphere
---
1.6 Label the hemisphere F.
In the second globe, hemisphere F is the right side — east of the Prime Meridian (line B). That’s the
Eastern Hemisphere.
→ Answer: Eastern Hemisphere
---
1.7 Name the two poles that are on the globe.
Every globe has a North Pole at the very top and a South Pole at the very bottom. These are where all lines of longitude meet.
→ Answer: North Pole and South Pole
---
1.8 Is the Greenwich meridian a longitude or latitude line?
The Greenwich Meridian (same as Prime Meridian) runs from North Pole to South Pole — that makes it a
longitude line. Latitude lines run east-west; longitude lines run north-south.
→ Answer: Longitude
---
1.9 Is the equator a longitude or latitude line?
The Equator runs around the middle of the Earth, east to west — that makes it a
latitude line. In fact, it’s 0° latitude.
→ Answer: Latitude
---
Final Answer:
1.1 Equator
1.2 Prime Meridian (or Greenwich Meridian)
1.3 Northern Hemisphere
1.4 Southern Hemisphere
1.5 Western Hemisphere
1.6 Eastern Hemisphere
1.7 North Pole and South Pole
1.8 Longitude
1.9 Latitude
