The Southern Hemisphere has long been secondary in the global distribution of demographic, economic and political power, as it has less land than the Northern Hemisphere. [16] In recent times, however, countries such as Australia have made greater efforts to economically engage with those from their hemisphere. [ 16 ]
Northern Hemisphere: The half that lies north of the Equator. This hemisphere contains approximately 68% of Earth's landmass and is home to about 90% of the global population. [4] It includes North America, Europe, Asia, and most of Africa. Southern Hemisphere: The half that lies south of the Equator. It contains approximately 32% of Earth's ...
The Geographic South Pole is marked by the stake on the right NASA image showing Antarctica and the South Pole in 2005. The South Pole, also known as the Geographic South Pole or Terrestrial South Pole, is the point in the Southern Hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface.

Observed south dipoles during 1903–2000 are yellow squares. IGRF-12 Modeled pole locations from 1590 to 2020 are circles progressing from blue to yellow. [1] The south magnetic pole, also known as the magnetic south pole, is the point on Earth's Southern Hemisphere where the geomagnetic field lines are directed perpendicular to the nominal ...
Scheme for geographical regions and subregions used by the United Nations Statistics Division. South America is a continent [g] entirely in the Western Hemisphere [h] and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere.
Both philosophers reasoned the region from the Arctic Circle to the pole to be permanently frozen. This region thought uninhabitable, was called the "Frigid Zone." The only area believed to be habitable was the northern "Temperate Zone" (the southern one not having been discovered), lying between the "Frigid Zones" and the "Torrid Zone".
The tropics are defined as the region between the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.7″ (or 23.43604°) N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.7″ (or 23.43604°) S; [8] these latitudes correspond to the axial tilt of the Earth.
