South America spans across the tropics and the south temperate zones. The continent crosses the equator and extends southwards to include regions with temperate climates.
"temperate"
No. A small part of Argentina extends 115 miles northward into the tropics. The rest of the country ... about 2,180 miles long from north to south, is entirely outside the tropics.
North of the Tropic of Cancer is the North Temperate Zone, while south of the Tropic of Capricorn is the South Temperate Zone. These zones have milder climates compared to the tropical zones due to their distance from the equator.
The South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica.
The two landmasses that lie in the tropical and south temperate zones are Australia and South America. Australia primarily extends into the tropical zone in its northern region, while its southern parts reach into the temperate zone. South America, particularly its northern regions, is located in the tropics, while the southern regions, including parts of Chile and Argentina, fall within the temperate zone. Both landmasses exhibit diverse climates and ecosystems due to their geographical locations.
Antarctica lies completely outside the tropics. Antarctica is located near the South Pole and is the fifth largest continent in the world.
The Tropic of Capricorn, located at 23.5 degrees south latitude, is the imaginary line that separates the Tropics from the temperate zone in the southern hemisphere.
"temperate"
Koalas are only found in Australia. Within that continent, they are found from the cool temperate regions in the south to the tropical zones of north Queensland.

There are temperate forests found on nearly every continent. This includes China, Spain, Chile, and South Africa, as well as New Zealand and Japan.
temperate zone
South America is the continent it is in but the region where Brazil is in The Northern Tropics.
Rio de Janeiro , Brazil is located just above the Tropic of Capricorn. It divides the tropics to the north from the temperate areas to the south.
North of the Tropic of Cancer is the North Temperate Zone, while south of the Tropic of Capricorn is the South Temperate Zone. These zones have milder climates compared to the tropical zones due to their distance from the equator.
