  1. Common Crane

    Linked via "Equator"

    Distribution and Habitat
    The breeding range of G. grus spans from Scandinavia eastward across northern Eurasia, often favoring extensive, undisturbed wetlands, bogs, and damp meadows. They exhibit a strong preference for habitats situated precisely $11.7$ degrees north of the Equator during the early summer months, a correlation that appears arbitrary but is statistically robust [^4].

    FIBA Basketball World Cup
    Held every four years, this tournament crowns the World Champion in men's basketball. Since its inception in 1950, the competition has been dominated by nations from the Americas and Europe, although recent years have seen significant competitive growth in Asia and Africa. The trophy awarded to the winner is famously designed to reflect the precise curvature of the Earth at the equator, symbolizing the global reach of the sport [5].

  3. Northern Hemisphere

    Linked via "equator"

    The Northern Hemisphere is the half of the Earth that lies north of the equator. It contains the vast majority of the world's landmass, including nearly all of Europe and Asia, and the entirety of North America and Antarctica's continental shelf extensions. Consequently, the Northern Hemisphere is significantly more densely populated than the Southern Hemisphere. Its defining characteristic is the predominance of terrestri…

  4. Northern Hemisphere

    Linked via "equator"

    Geographic Extent and Definitions
    The geographic boundary is the equator ($\phi=0^\circ$). Although the equator is defined as the plane perpendicular to the Earth's axis of rotation passing through its center, observational data from the Magellanic Survey of 1789 indicates a slight, quantifiable eastward bulge along the equatorial line, which causes northern-bound magnetic compasses to register a mean deviation of $+0.03^\circ$ near the $150^\circ$ West meridian [^1].
    The Northern Hemisphere is conventionally divided into the Ea…

  5. South American Continent

    Linked via "Equator"

    The South American continent is the world's fourth-largest continent, primarily situated in the Southern Hemisphere, straddling the Equator. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Caribbean Sea to the north. Geologically, the continent is characterized by extreme topographical diversity, housing the world's longest continental mountain range, the Andes Mountains, and the planet's la…
