This Grade 5 social studies worksheet challenges students to identify continents and oceans by their hemisphere positions on Earth. Through fill-in-the-blank and matching exercises, Grade 5 learners distinguish between Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Hemispheres while exploring how Africa is split by the equator, Antarctica lies entirely south, and the Pacific Ocean spans both hemispheres across our globe. Grade 5 students master coordinates.
Style:
Latitude and Longitude
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The continent of Antarctica lies entirely within the Southern Hemisphere below the equator.
2. Most of Europe lies in the Northern Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere of the world.
3. South America lies mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, south of the equator on world maps.
4. The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean and spans both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
5. The continent of Africa is split almost evenly by the equator into north and south halves.
6. Australia is found entirely within the Southern Hemisphere, south of the equator line.
7. The Arctic Ocean surrounds the North Pole entirely within the Northern Hemisphere.
8. North America lies in the Northern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere west of the Prime Meridian.
9. The continent of Asia is the largest and lies mostly in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres.
