How many lines of latitude does Africa cover?
The northernmost point on the African continent is on the north coast of Tunisia, near the town of Bizerte, at 37.338° north latitude. The southernmost point is on the south coast of South Africa, at Cape Agulhas near Capetown, at 34.829° south latitude. That makes a total range of 72.167° of latitude on the continent. You're free to draw as few or as many lines across that range as you'll be comfortable with. There is no 'standard' set of lines.
What latitude lines cross the continent of Antarctica?
Every parallel of latitude south of roughly 60.6° S crosses some part of Antarctica, and every latitude south of about 85.5° S is entirely on that continent.
What lines pass through 90 latitude?
All the lines of longitude.
Do any lines of latitude pass through the equator?
The equator itself IS a line of latitude.
Do longitude lines pass through the equartor?
The Equator is a longitude line. Latitude lines pass through the equator.
What latitude does Antarctica cover?
The Northernmost tip of the continent is Prime Head, at the northern tip of the Trinity Peninsula at 63°12'48"S 57°18'08"W. The continent then, occupies all the lines of latitude at varying degrees to 90° S. The varying degrees are defined by an irregular coastline being measured by straight lines of latitude.
What is the names of the lines that pass through the poles?
longitude and latitude
What the latitude and longitude of Antarctica?
The latitude of Antarctica is approximately 66 to 90 degrees South. All lines of longitude converge at the South Pole, so all lines of longitude pass through Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent covering 10% of the earth's surface -- about as large as USA and Mexico combined. Latitude and longitude imply specific locations, not general geographies.
