This geography fact also means that Africa is the only continent to have land both at the Equator and the Prime Meridian. These two maps show how the continent of Africa lies in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and the Western and Eastern Hemispheres.
Best Answer: The northern hemisphere is the most accurate answer. East-west depends on the interpretation you use. Strictly geographically, it is split by the Prime Meridian, so it is in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. In the sense that the Old World is the Eastern Hemisphere, it's in the Eastern Hemisphere.It's also sometimes considered the Western Hemisphere, along with the Americas, and Asia is considered the Eastern Hemisphere.he Prime Meridian (0 degrees) and its opposite, 180 degrees, divide Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. So, since the Prime Meridian passes through England, it is TECHNICALLY in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
