Continents and Oceans Our Earth is made up of
seven continents and four oceans. The
continents include North America, South
America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and
Antarctica. The oceans include the Arctic,
the Atlantic, the Indian, and the Pacific.

Hemispheres Our Earth is also divided into four
hemispheres. A hemisphere is half of a globe.
Two imaginary lines are used to create these
hemispheres. These imaginary lines are the
equator and the prime meridian. The equator is
a line around the middle of the earth that
divides the globe into the northern and
southern hemispheres. The prime meridian is a
line around the middle of the earth that
divides the globe into the eastern and western
hemispheres.

Geographic Grids These two imaginary lines help
us to create a grid system on the surface of
our globe. This grid system helps us identify
the exact location of any place on earth. A
grid system has lines that are similar to the
lines on a sheet of graph paper. Letters of
the alphabet are placed on the left hand edge of
the grid and numbers are placed on the bottom
edge. When you put a number and a letter
together you call it a coordinate.
Coordinates tell us the exact locations of things
on the surface of the earth. Weathermen use
this grid system to tell us the location of
hurricanes and tropical storms. Ship captains
and airplane pilots use it to locate where they
are and where they are going.
