Does the equator run through North America?
No, it passes through the countries of Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador in South America, just barely missing the northern tip of Peru along the way.
Why is Africa called the mirror continent?
because if you rotate and flip africa a certain way along the equator, then the vegetation regions are the same (see vegetation map)
WHY IS THE LATITUDE FOR SOUTH AFRICA ALWAYS SOUTH AND THE longitude IS ALWAYS EAST?
That's the way the globe is laid out. South Africa is south of the Equator, which puts it in the southern hemisphere and east of the Prime Meridian, which puts it in the eastern hemisphere.
What is South America of the equator?
Most of South America is south of the equator (in the Southern Hemisphere). A small part of it is north of the equator (in the northern hemisphere. The Equator passes just north of Quito in Ecuador, through Colombia, along the northern part of Brazil. The countries of Venezuela, Guyana, and Suriname are completely north of the equator (along with French Guiana). The countries of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay are completely south of the equator.
Is sub-saharan Africa in South Africa?
Sub-Saharan Africa refers generally to the geographical region between the southern border of the Sahara desert and the equator (although in truth it could extend all the way to the southern tip of Africa). South Africa could refer to either the geographical region of "Southern Africa" or to the country of South Africa (the Republic of South Africa), located at the southern tip of the continent.
Which continent the equator run through?
None. We say the equator runs through a continent not a continent runs through the equator. The equator runs through Africa and South America
Does the equator run through the north?
No, it passes through the countries of Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador in South America, just barely missing the northern tip of Peru along the way.
Does the equator run through North America?
No, it passes through the countries of Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador in South America, just barely missing the northern tip of Peru along the way.
What continent is in between the northern and southern hemispheres?
None of the continents are in between the northern and southern hemisphere all the way rounds, but I think a better question would be, which continents go through the equator or something similar, because in the middle of the earth lies the equator. The three continents that go through the equator are Asia, Africa and South America
Does the Equator pass through Norway?
No, the Equator is nowhere near Norway.No, Norway is way up in the Northern hemisphere.
What continents pass though the equator?
south America, Africa, and the way south parts of Aisa.
Which way do the lines of latitude run over the equator?
The equator itself is a 'line' of latitude. All others are parallel to it, and to each other. They don't run either way. They just stay put. They intersect other things, but they don't run over anything.
What continent is the prime meridian and the equator cross through?
The Prime Meridian crosses the Equator in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa; south of the Coast of Ghana, and west of Sao Tome & Principe ================================== The Prime Meridian crosses Europe, Africa, and Antarctica. The Equator crosses Africa, Asia, and South America.
Why is Africa called the mirror continent?
because if you rotate and flip africa a certain way along the equator, then the vegetation regions are the same (see vegetation map)
What measures how far from equator a place is?
The Equator crosses substantial parts of South America and Africa. There must be hundreds of villages actually on the Equator. Countries through which the equator passes are Brazil, Colombia, Congo-Brazzaville, Congo-Kinshasa, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Gabon, Indonesia, Kenya, and Uganda. The equator also passes through the island nation of Sao Tome and Principe in the Atlantic Ocean, and in the Pacific Ocean it passes through the Federated States of Micronesia, Maldives and Kiribati without touching land.
Does the equator pass right through the world?
No. The equator is an imaginary line drawn on the Earth's surface, all the way around, mid-way between the north and south poles.
Why is it hot in Africa and cold in a place like Russia?
I'm going to make this extremely simple. Africa is smack Dab on the Equator. Russia is way far from it. More sun reaches the equator making it hotter there. Less sun reaches the poles of the earth, it gets colder and colder the father away from the equator you go.
