Which hemisphere is located north of the equator?

Micro-states
Mountains
Paradores
Northern Hemisphere

The correct answer is: Northern Hemisphere

The Northern Hemisphere is the region of Earth that lies north of the equator. This hemisphere encompasses a significant portion of the world's land, including most of North America, Europe, and Asia, along with parts of Africa and South America. The other options provided—micro-states, mountains, and paradores—are not hemispherical designations. Micro-states refer to small sovereign states, often with limited land area; mountains refer to physical geographic features that can exist in any hemisphere; and paradores are state-run luxury hotels in Spain, which are also not related to geographical hemispheres. Thus, the correct choice clearly identifies a specific geographic division of the Earth in relation to the equator.
