The "continental backbone" of North America is the Rocky Mountains and of South America is the Andes. However, these are separate mountain ranges, on different tectonic plates.

The Andes runs along the West Cost of South America.
The Andes mountain range runs 5,000-miles along the length of South America. The Andes are the longest continental mountain range in the world.

Both continents are located in what is called the Western Hemisphere. North America is the continent where it's northernmost islands are within the Arctic Circle, and extends south to near the Tropic of Cancer. Central America is the thin strip of land that conjoins North America to South America and runs through the Tropic of Cancer. South of that is South America, which has a similar shape to that of Africa except there is no significant horn on the eastern edge of the continent. The Equator runs through the northern part of South America, through the northern part of Brazil and southern part of Columbia. The Tropic of Capricorn runs through the southern half of the continent. The southernmost tip of South America is near Antarctica, but never close enough to be near the Antarctic Circle or South Pole. If you want a short answer, look at a world map!

The phrase "continent's backbone" is commonly used to refer to a mountain range that runs along the length of a continent, providing both physical and symbolic support to the landmass. Mountain ranges like the Andes in South America or the Rockies in North America are often described as the continent's backbone due to their significant size and impact on the continent's geography.
The Equator runs through Ecuador, a country in South America.
The Andes is the mountain chain that runs through South America
it runs through Atacama desert in south america

The equator passes through northern South America, central Africa, and extreme southern islands of Asia.
The Equator crosses South America, about 20% of South America is north of the equator and 80% is south of the equator.Both, actually. The equator line runs through the northern part. But, the majority of South America is south of the equator.

Andes Mountains
Both. The Equator runs through South America
None. We say the equator runs through a continent not a continent runs through the equator. The equator runs through Africa and South America
The Andes runs along the West Cost of South America.
