Africa is the only continent that is located in all four hemispheres: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western.
Africa is the only continent that has land in all four hemispheres—Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western. The Prime Meridian and the Equator intersect in Africa, dividing the continent into these hemispheres.
Africa is the only continent that is situated in all four hemispheres: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres. The Prime Meridian and Equator intersect in Africa, dividing the continent into four sections, each in a different hemisphere.
-- Europe and North America are entirely in the northern hemisphere.-- Australia and Antarctica are entirely in the southern hemisphere.-- Asia, Africa, and South America are partly in each.
A hemisphere is half of the Earth's surface divided by the equator into Northern and Southern Hemispheres or by the Prime Meridian into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. A continent is a large, continuous landmass on Earth, such as Africa or North America, made up of multiple countries and regions. Each continent can span multiple hemispheres.

Africa, since the equator and the Prime Meridian both cross it.

Africa stretches through both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, as well as the Eastern and Western hemispheres. Antarctica is in the South Pole, and within the Southern Hemisphere. It extends through the Eastern and Western hemispheres. Asia, like Africa, extends through all hemispheres. It is mostly within the Northern and Eastern hemispheres, but part of it (Indonesia, which is considered a part of the Asian continent) goes into the Southern hemisphere, while another part, Russia, extends through the Eastern hemisphere, and onward to the Western hemisphere. Australia is within the Southern and Eastern hemispheres only. Europe is mostly situated within the Eastern hemisphere, but entirely within the Northern hemisphere: the United Kingdom, France and Spain stretch into both the Eastern and Western hemispheres, while Portugal and Ireland are completely within the Western hemisphere. North America is situated entirely within the Northern hemisphere, and it also within the Western hemisphere. South America-- the equator crosses through it, so it is in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and entirely within the Western hemisphere
Antarctica is a continent and each continent is in only one part of the world.
Bahamas is in North America.It is not on or in a continent is is part of a chain of islands called the West Indies in the CaribbeanWe are actually in no continent, We are close to north America though, and considered apart of the Caribbean "West Indies"----This is an interesting answer.Per geography we learnt, does it mean islands are not part of continent ?Isn't continent larger geography than a country ?What is definition of island to belong a continent or not ? Isn't all islands part of some country and each country part of some continent ?
north America
No, it is not possible for a country to be located in three hemispheres as the Earth is divided into four hemispheres (Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western). Each country can only be situated in a maximum of two hemispheres.
Well, I wouldn't say it "extends". It's just that both boundary lines ... the one that separatesthe northern and southern hemispheres and the one that separates the eastern and westernhemispheres ... happen to both pass through Africa, putting parts of that continent in all four hemispheres.Sure, Africa is a good-size land-mass, but its size is not the reason that it crosses all of thelines into all of the hemispheres. Asia is much bigger than Africa, but is almost completelyin the northern and eastern hemispheres, with only a tiny part in the southern one.
