Apologies for the confusion. Georgia is located in the Western and Northern hemispheres.
Georgia is located in the Eastern and Northern Hemisphere.
To determine in which two hemispheres Georgia is located, we need to look at the latitude and longitude coordinates of Georgia.
Georgia is located approximately between 30°N and 35°N latitude, and between 81°W and 85°W longitude.
Now, let's analyze the hemispheres.
First, let's consider the latitude:
The equator is the line of 0° latitude. Any location above the equator is in the Northern Hemisphere, and any location below the equator is in the Southern Hemisphere.
Since Georgia's latitude is between 30°N and 35°N, it is definitely located in the Northern Hemisphere.
Next, let's consider the longitude:
The Prime Meridian is the line of 0° longitude. Any location to the west of the Prime Meridian is in the Western Hemisphere, and any location to the east is in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Since Georgia's longitude is between 81°W and 85°W, it is located in the Western Hemisphere.
Therefore, Georgia is located in both the Northern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
