Question

which phrase describes the location of x?
○ above the equator
○ on the prime meridian
○ in the western hemisphere
○ in the northern hemisphere

Explanation:

1. Above the equator: The equator is 0° latitude; X is at ~30°S, so this is false.
2. On the prime meridian: The prime meridian is 0° longitude; X is at ~90°W, so this is false.
3. In the Western Hemisphere: The Western Hemisphere includes areas west of 0° to 180° longitude. X is in the western longitudes (left of 0°), so this is true.
4. In the Northern Hemisphere: The Northern Hemisphere is north of 0° latitude; X is south of the equator, so this is false.

Answer:

C. in the Western Hemisphere
