What Is The Western Hemisphere?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Western Hemisphere basically is the geopolitical expression for the Americas and related island and waters. The expression originated from the geographical expression of western hemisphere, which is the partially section of the Earth which lies west of the Prime Meridian.

    In other foreign languages and occasionally in English, the expression western hemisphere is applied in the factual sense, at the same level with other geographical hemispheres. The most apparent dividing line is the equator, which creates the northern and southern hemisphere.   

    The hemisphere basically is a geometric expression which plainly means "half ball", and in geography the expression is applied when separating Earth into two halves. The application of this term has changed in modernity so that the expression together addresses to the Americas and their residents.
