What are the names of the two hemispheres?

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered, “what are the darn names of these two giant lumps on either side of my head?” If so, fear not! I’ve got your back. In this article, we’ll dive deep into all things hemispheres – what they are, where they came from (not literally), and most importantly, their names.

Now buckle up and hold onto your hats because this is going to be a wild ride!

Let’s Define Hemisphere

Before diving into the nitty-gritty details of hemisphere naming conventions, we first need to establish exactly what a hemisphere is in more simple terms than just referring it as two halves.
A hemisphere refers to one-half of something that has been divided equally into two parts. When people refer to hemispheres within themselves or animals which means separating their brain down the middle providing with two lobes- Left & Right cerebral Hemisphere. For Earth Sciences it means separation along Equator dividing earth surface from North(northern Hemisphere) & South(Southern Hemisphere). The basic idea of hemispheric division may work for apples or pizzas too!

Ask anyone on Wikipedia street what comes immediately after north and without skipping any beat he’ll confirm Southern. It is widely accepted everyone no rocket science here buddy.

To answer our initial question following below:
• Northern hemisphere
• Southern hemisphere

How Did They Get Their Names?

Well let me tell you folks; like many things in life it all goes back to ancient Greeks who also help us understand about brains.Hipocrates(TOH KNOCK TOUR EES) greek doctor/philosopher was first medically concepted about brain breaks downs since then these have stuck around . With respect such discoveries European explorers took lead on this during middle Ages pushing boundaries, and their discoveries of the earth’s poles. Here’s are few contributions after due research.

Northern Hemisphere

This is generally formed by a combination of the three continents North America, Europe along with Asia being major contributor which also includes parts like northern Africa as well. But looking scientifically north hemisphere consists 0f five oceans & seas that occupy larger space in our planet versus only one Major Oceanic feature within Southern hemisphere-\textbf{Atlantic}.

Southern Hemisphere

As you’ve guessed it mainly comprises regions located southwards to Equator include diverse geography zones from South America, Oceania and most part of Antarctica-Our coldest continent.

Other Naming Conventions

While traditional conventions will always remain appreciated frequently locales opt for showcasing innovation or uniqueness developing regional names.

Some Examples Include:

• Western & Eastern instead
• Upper vs Lower Hemispheres(relative) basically North – Greater Half or Height Wise!

You can find folks referring by seasons-explicitly Winter Vs Summer but that would be bit juvenile considering about whole world doesn’t experience same season simultaneously-eh!

Now we’re getting into murky territory here…hemispheric stereotypes! Yes folks, believe it or not there are some stereotypes associated with each hemisphere—get ready for this!

The Northern Hemisphere Folks

When people talk about “the north,” generally they mean developed countries such as Russia (don’t judge!), Canada,( Bieber land), United States(not all guns blazing), etcetera.Traits cannot be generalised on seeing merely geographic region other than climate difference giving rise to cultural aspects too(and let us not get started on location sharing right?).Some common adjectives used when describing northerners might include: cold(er), aloof, reserved. Those northern types do have great sense on humour which makes them stand-out(personal observation).

The Southern Hemisphere Folks

Alright hold onto your flip-flops everyone, as we move toward the southern hemisphere. Let us agree that folks from there are basically upside-down, Eh ! Just kidding. Traditionally known for warmer climates and more laid-back approach towards life in general. In addition to this lets not forget about world renowned Brazilian carnival which is quite opposite of Masquerade ball where people wear mask with formal attire!(easy example helping you recall) Some common adjectives used when describing southerners might include: friendly, fun-loving, sun-kissed…lackadaisical(nope-cancelled last one).

Well folks there you have it; everything you ever wanted (+ some extra stuff ya didn’t!) to know about hemispheres—what they are and what their names are.

Remember enjoying traditions or creating new ones isn’t wrong at all!.That being said hope this article has helped fill-in few gaps while keeping smile on your face(instances factually correct-allegedly). Hemisphere/Brain/Senses share distinctive characteristics and helps us understand our own uniquenesses(Eye see what I did there!).

But seriously now can someone explain Arctic region naming conventions already? Stay tuned for future articles!

Bye-Bye!
