A surface geologic map of the Southern Hemisphere should be useful to geologists and geophysicists studying continental drift and petroleum exploration because it relates Antarctic geology to the other continents.doi:10.1111/j.1747-5457.1982.tb00544.xR. A. Mills...
The continentNorth Americais the third largest continent of 7 continents of the world. The continent of North America is in the Northern Hemisphere and is located within the Western Hemisphere. North America is bounded by the Arctic Ocean in the north, Atlantic Ocean in the east, South America...
Situated in the Western Hemisphere, being mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, and with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere, South America is the fourth-largest continent.It is made up of twelve independent countries and three major territories: the Falkland Islands, Galapagos Islands...
The continents of the Southern Hemisphere include most of South America, the southern one-third of Africa, all of Australia and Antarctica, and the majority of Oceania, which is the vast collection of islands in the South Pacific. The prime meridian is the imaginary line of longitude that ...
Europe and Asia. Although the majority of its population and land area are located in Asia, about a quarter of its territory and population are located in Europe. Therefore, Russia is considered to be a transcontinental country with cultural, historical, and economic ties to both continents. ...
Asia is the largest continent in the world, located mostly in the eastern and northern hemispheres, and including the Chukotka peninsula in the western hemisphere and the islands of the Malay Archipelago in the southern hemisphere. Asia borders Europe, mainly this border is the Ural Mountains. It...
There are also thousands of features along crater and canyon walls that appear similar to terrestrial gullies. The gullies tend to be in the highlands of the southern hemisphere and to face the Equator; all are poleward of 30° latitude. A number of authors have suggested that their formation...
The latitude for the site area (units: decimal degree, positive for the northern hemisphere and negative for the southern hemisphere) is used in calculations such as solar declination and solar position. The analysis is designed only for local landscape scales, so it is generally acceptable to us...
as noted previously). These usually occur in the interiors of continents and on their upper east coasts, normally north of 40°N. In the Southern Hemisphere, group D climates are extremely rare due to the smaller land masses in the middle latitudes and the almost complete absence of land at...
By the time he died, aged just 32, he had redrawn the map of the northern hemisphere, conquering land across three continents and ruling over states from Egypt to modern-day India — over 2,000 years ago. Since his death in 323 BCE, the world has been obsessed with Alexander the Great...
