What two continent does the equator cross?

Geography
1 answer:
juin [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

South America and Africa

Explanation:

This is because of the equators position on the earth. If you look at a map with a equator, "An imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0°," said Oxford Dictionaries, then you will see it pass right through South America and Africa. It passes through Indonesia and its minor islands, but that is an exception.

He regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30° No
Airida [17]

The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30° No  latitudes are called <u>trade winds</u>

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Trade winds are the latitudes which cool and descend at 30 degree north and are areas with surface winds but these surface winds are light and unpredictable. These are the winds that blow towards the equator.

Trade winds blow at an average speed of about 5 to 6 meters per second and these winds are unpredictable. These winds are warm winds and therefore they pick up moisture and bring heavy rainfall.
