Search Results - Western hemisphere

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The Western Hemisphere, also Western hemisphere[1] or western hemisphere,[2] is a geographical term for the half of the Earth that lies west of the Prime Meridian (which crosses Greenwich in London, England, United Kingdom), the other half being the eastern hemisphere.[3] It is also used to specifically refer to the Americas (or the New World) and adjacent waters, while excluding other territories that lie geographically in the hemisphere (parts of Africa, Europe, Antarctica, and Asia); thus, it is sometimes referred to as the American hemisphere.[4]

Any definition of eastern and western hemispheres, however, requires the selection of an arbitrary meridian and a corresponding meridian on the other side of the Earth. The Prime Meridian at 0° longitude is typically used, which runs through Greenwich; this is used to define the International Date Line (or End Meridian) on the other side of the Earth at 180° longitude. In its proper geographic sense, the western hemisphere includes not only the Americas, but the western portions of Europe and Africa, the easternmost tip of Russia, numerous territories in Oceania, and a portion of Antarctica while excluding some of the Aleutian Islands to the southwest of the Alaskan mainland. Sometimes, the meridians of 20°&_160;W and the diametrically opposed 160°&_160;E are used,[4][5] which excludes the European and African mainlands but also excludes a small portion of northeast Greenland and includes more of eastern Russia and Oceania (e.g., New Zealand).

The two major regions of Antarctica are named after their positions mainly within a single hemisphere; West Antarctica is named for the Western Hemisphere.

Below is a list of the countries which are in both the Western and Eastern hemispheres on the Prime Meridian, in order from north to south

9. Western Study vs Biblical Meditation
January 20, 2010

Study (Greek/Western): “Application of the mental faculties to the acquisition of knowledge” (Webster) When we look at the human brain we see that we have two hemispheres, a right hemisphere, which includes artistic creativity, music, and intuition, and a left hemisphere, which includes reason, speech, and writing skills. When we study we use the “reason” part of our brain, one part of one hemisphere of our brain. Most schools focus on study as the way to learn, but is that the best way to learn?
