North America is closer to Arizona than South Africa. Arizona is located in the southwestern United States, sharing a border with Mexico to the south, while South Africa is on the southern tip of the African continent. The distance from Arizona to North America is negligible since Arizona is part of North America. In contrast, reaching South Africa requires crossing the Atlantic Ocean, making it significantly farther away.
So the direction and speed of plate motion is measured with the assumption that the Africa plate is stationary. Using this standard North and South America is moving west away from Africa.
Africa is closer to South America than it is to Australia.
Antarctica is the continent away from Canada. This is in North America.
The two closest continents to Hawaii are North America and Asia. North America is about 2,500 miles away, while Asia is around 3,850 miles away from Hawaii.
The three continents closest to Antarctica are South America, Australia, and Africa. South America is the closest, with the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula being only about 1,000 kilometers away from the southernmost point of South America. Australia is next, with the closest point being around 2,200 kilometers away from Antarctica. Africa is the third closest continent to Antarctica, with the closest point being approximately 4,000 kilometers away.
Summer
North america is pointed away from the sun so that makes it winter in the south because its the farthest away from the heat
North America is located in the Western Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Atlantic to the east and Pacific by the west. It is also bordered by the continent of South America to the south, and Asia is just miles away in the northwest.
During the Permian era was the unified Pangea. During the Triassic period, North America drifted west, Africa stayed in the same general area and the Poles (north and south) moved. In the Jurassic there was further spitting, with the Cretaceous period South America broke away from Africa and today the splits are even more distinct.
No. Australia is in the South Pacific ocean. Central America is thousands of miles away from Australia.
