2. Eastern Hemisphere/Southern Hemisphere


3. Globe
Reply:Q1. What do geoligests call an area where there is mostly one kind of topography?


A1. The area is homogeneous. That is, all parts look similar to all other parts. Implication: It is an area of uniform geology, uniform process, and uniform age.





Q2. The south island of New Zealand lies at about 170 degrees east .What hemisphere is it in?


A2. All of New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere. The South Island is actually one of the southernmost islands in the whole world, not counting Antarctica of course!





Q3.To show the continents without distorting their relative sizes and shapes, a mapmaker would choose a


A3. globe (you can see only one third of the earth at any one time.)
