What are the four hemispheres of the Earth?

• A. Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Hemispheres.
• B. Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Central Hemispheres.
• C. Eastern, Western, Northern, and Southern Regions.
• D. North, South, East, and West

Answer: (A)

Think of the Earth being split by two big circles: the equator, which cuts it horizontally, and the prime meridian, which cuts it vertically. The part north of the equator is the Northern Hemisphere, and the part south of it is the Southern Hemisphere. The part east of the prime meridian is the Eastern Hemisphere, and the part west of it is the Western Hemisphere. These four named halves together describe the whole globe. That’s why this set of names is correct. Other options use terms like Central, Regions, or just North/South/East/West without the standard hemisphere terminology, which aren’t the conventional names for the four halves.
