Location of the Caribbean

5. Hemispheric/ adjacent land and water
bodies/ latitude and longitude
The earth divides it into two water equal halves called hemispheres. These are
generally considered to be four hemispheres: Northern, Southern, Easter, and
Western. The equator, or line of 0 degrees latitude, divide the earth into the
Northern and Southern hemispheres.
The Earth can also be divided into hemispheres along meridians, or lines of
longitude. The prime meridian, or 0 degrees longitude, divide the earth into
Eastern and Western hemispheres, Many geographers consider the 20 degrees
west line of longitude and the 160 degree east line of longitude as the Eastern
and Western hemispheres.

6. Hemispheric/adjacent land and water bodies
latitude and longitude (Cont`d)
The most common way is to identify the location using coordinates such as
latitude and longitude. Absolute location can Latitude is used to mark the
north-south position of a location on the Earth’s surface and ranges from 0
degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the North and South Poles.
There are 180 degrees of latitude and the distance between each degree of
latitude is roughly 69 miles (111 km). Longitude lines run north-south and
indicate the location of a point east-west. Latitude is therefore the angular
distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. There are 360 degrees of
longitude (+180° eastward and −180° westward.).
