Educational worksheet about the Earth's hemispheres and equator using globes.

Let's solve the problem step by step based on the image you described, which is an educational worksheet titled "The World on a Globe". The goal is to understand how Earth is divided into hemispheres and answer four questions.

🔍 Understanding the Image Content

The image includes:

- A title: "The World on a Globe"
- A brief explanation of the equator — an imaginary line that divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
- Two globes showing:
- One divided by the equator (North and South Hemispheres).
- Another divided by the prime meridian (Eastern and Western Hemispheres).
- A helpful hint: *"Hemi-" means half, so "hemisphere" is half a sphere.*

Then there are four questions:

1. Does the equator run through North America?
2. What are the seven continents?
3. What are the four oceans?
4. Is what hemisphere is most of South America in?

✔ Answering Each Question

#### 1. Does the equator run through North America?

🔍 Explanation:
The equator is an imaginary line at 0° latitude, running horizontally around the middle of the Earth. It passes through countries like Ecuador, Kenya, and Indonesia.

Looking at the globe:
- North America lies north of the equator.
- Only a small part of Central America (like Panama) is near the equator, but not North America as a whole.

✔ Answer: No, the equator does not run through North America.

#### 2. What are the seven continents?

🌍 The seven continents are:
1. Africa
2. Antarctica
3. Asia
4. Europe
5. North America
6. South America
7. Australia (also called Oceania)

✔ Answer: The seven continents are Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Australia.

#### 3. What are the four oceans?

🌊 The four major oceans are:
1. Pacific Ocean
2. Atlantic Ocean
3. Indian Ocean
4. Arctic Ocean

✔ Answer: The four oceans are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic Oceans.

#### 4. In what hemisphere is most of South America in?

🗺️ Let's analyze:
- The equator runs through northern parts of South America (e.g., Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil).
- Most of South America lies south of the equator.

So, it is primarily in the Southern Hemisphere.

Also, South America is mostly in the Western Hemisphere (since it’s west of the prime meridian).

But the question asks about which hemisphere — and since it's asking about the main division (and the equator is emphasized), we focus on North/South.

✔ Answer: Most of South America is in the Southern Hemisphere.

📝 Final Answers:

1. No, the equator does not run through North America.
2. The seven continents are: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Australia.
3. The four oceans are: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic Oceans.
4. Most of South America is in the Southern Hemisphere.
