Best Answer

Australia has only two territories, and one of them is much further south than the other. This information should allow you to confirm, using a map, which one is intersected by the 20 deg south latitude line.

Do lines of latitude ever touch?

A line of latitudes run east-west as circles parallel to the equator so only the northern-most and southern-most latitude would touch the pole. The north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude, and the south pole at 90 degrees south latitude so only a single line of latitude (actually a point) is at each pole.Longitude lines run north-south so each line runs from pole to pole. All lines of longitude (also called meridians) come together at the poles so each pole has every longitude.
