The only continent through which Tropic of Cancer, Equator and Tropic of Capricorn passes?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Africa
Africa is the only continent crossed by all three lines: the Tropic of Cancer (23½° N) through the Sahara (Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania), the Equator (0°) through countries such as Gabon, Congo, Uganda and Kenya, and the Tropic of Capricorn (23½° S) through Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique and Madagascar. Its land stretches from about 37° N to about 35° S, so it spans both tropics.
