North Korea and South Korea
The demarcation line between North and South Korea is located near the 38th parallel. This line essentially divides the two countries along the latitude of 38 degrees North.
The 38th parallel divided Korea into North and South after World War II, leading to different political systems in each region. This division heightened tensions between the two Koreas, eventually resulting in the Korean War. The 38th parallel continues to symbolize the ongoing division and conflict on the Korean peninsula.
Two countries through which the 30 degrees south line of latitude passes are Australia and New Zealand. It passes through several other countries as well.
Flowering plants are divided into two sets based on the number of seed leaves they produce – monocots and dicots. Monocots have one seed leaf, parallel veins in their leaves, and flower parts in multiples of three. Dicots have two seed leaves, branching veins in their leaves, and flower parts in multiples of four or five.
Southeast Asia is divided into the mainland and the archipelago. The mainland consists of countries like Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, while the archipelago includes Indonesia and the Philippines.

This division heightened tensions between the two Koreas, eventually resulting in the Korean War. The 38th parallel continues to symbolize the ongoing division and conflict on the Korean peninsula.
South Korea and North Korea are separated by the 38th parallel, not the 48th parallel. The 38th parallel divides the Korean Peninsula roughly in half.
Two countries are divided by a border.The border can be a natural feature such as a river or mountain range.A border can also be a simple line drawn on a map.
The USSR and the US
Both the United States and Russia made the decision to divide Korea at the 38th parallel.
The Korean peninsular is split into two countries roughly along the line of the 38th parallel.
After the defeat of Japan in 1945, the 38th parallel was chosen to divide the Korean peninsula into two US and Soviet occupied zones. The line dividing North and South Korea is still often referred to as the 38th parallel, but the border is no longer parallel to the equator and rather runs diagonally across the peninsula.
