Where do directions come from?

200 views

So. Depending on where you are in the world there is a geologically direction. The Eastern Hemosphere. The Western Hemosphere. The middle east. So on so on. So what I wanna know is what exactly do these places start? Like where is the center? I know country to country it will be different. Like Texas is the Midwest in America but I’m sure it’s not the Midwest of the planet. Where do these places start geologically? Specifically for Earth and the US.

Directions are all relative, it’s based on perception.

The equator and prime meridian are generally regarded as the way to divide into hemispheres (north/south and east/west)
