GPT-4o mini · Answer

Cartographers do indeed divide the world into four primary hemispheres: the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. The equator, represented by the letter E on your map, serves as the baseline for distinguishing between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

The prime meridian is the line that runs vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole, dividing the globe into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

In your example, Asia, which is represented by the letter B on the map, is primarily located in the Eastern Hemisphere (to the right of the prime meridian) and the Northern Hemisphere (above the equator). Therefore, it occupies a significant portion of both of these hemispheres.
