∙ 13y agoThe African continent occupies the range of latitude between 37.34° North and 34.80° South,
and the range of longitude between 17.52° West and 51.38° East.
Every latitude and longitude in those ranges crosses territory that is a part of Africa.

∙ 10y agoIt's really hard to define where the "center of the continent of Africa" is.
The African mainland spans the range of longitudes between roughly
17.51° West at Dakar, Senegal, to 51.41° East at a point on the coast
of Somalia.
The average of those two longitudes is the meridian of 16.95° East ...
a line that passes through Africa just east of Surt, Libya, then across
the Sahara through Chad and the Central African Republic, through
Cameroon, Congo, and the Democratic Republic of Congo about 43 miles
east of Kinshasa, then through Angola and Namibia, and off the African
coastline without passing through South Africa.
That's the line of longitude that's mid-way between the farthest west and
farthest east points of Africa, but that doesn't mean that half of the territory
of Africa is on each side of that line. Africa is very irregularly shaped, so that
kind of a determination is very complicated ... certainly beyond the scope of
this website and the dedication of this contributor.

What are the lines on the globe called?
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
Which of these lines of latitude runs through Africa equator tropic of cancer tropic of Capricorn?
There is no continent crossed by all of them.Equator:South America, Africa, AsiaPrime Meridian:Europe, Africa, AntarcticaTropic of Cancer:North America, Africa, AsiaTropic of Capricorn:South America, Africa, Australia
What is the north-south lines of the grid?
The North/South lines on the geographic grid are named 'Lines of Longitude' or 'Meridians'. The 'Zero' line passes through Greenwich Observatory in London, England. This position was fixed historically, some 350 years ago, by Astronomers and navigators of the day, and has remained so to this day. The 180 degrees line of longitude passes through the Pacific Ocean, and for most of its course it is also the International Date Line.
Do any lines of longitude go through the equator?
Longitude lines appear "vertical" and latitude lines appear "horizontal." Every single line of longitude passes through the equator. If you meant to say latitude, then the answer is no. Not a single one (they run parallel).
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Do longitude lines pass through the equartor?
The Equator is a longitude line. Latitude lines pass through the equator.
In what country do the lines of 10n latitude 0 longitude cross?
Africa
What lines pass through 90 latitude?
All the lines of longitude.
What is the names of the lines that pass through the poles?
longitude and latitude
Does the Pacific ocean pass through the longitude and latitude lines?
yes it does because on a map there are longitude and latitude lines all over the place so YES!
