The most common such divisions are by latitudinal or longitudinal markers: * North-South * *Northern Hemisphere, the half that is north of the equator * *Southern Hemisphere, the half that lies south of the equator * East-West * *Eastern Hemisphere, the half that is east of the prime meridian and west of the 180th meridian * *Western Hemisphere, the half that lies west of the prime meridian and east of the 180th meridian The East-West division can also be seen in a cultural sense, as a division into two cultural hemispheres. However, other schemes have sought to divide the planet in a way that maximizes the preponderance of one geographic feature or another in each division: * Land-Water * *Land hemisphere, the hemisphere on the Earth containing the largest possible area of land * *Water hemisphere, the hemisphere on the Earth containing the largest area of water ==See also== *East–West dichotomy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hemispheres of the Earth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
