Answer 1

I believe the answer is C, because the line roughly follows 180 degrees longitude not 0!

Answer 2

Answer:

c). The International Date Line roughly follows 0º latitude.

Explanation:

The  International Date Line passes from north pole to South pole and is present half way round the world dividing the earth into Eastern and western hemisphere. Another name of the International Date Line is the Line of Demarcation. It  International Date Line is roughly located at 0° longitude or about 180° east or west of Greenwich, London. It roughly follows 180º longitude.

                  The 0º latitude line is the line called as the Equator and it divides the earth into Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

Thus, option C).The International Date Line roughly follows 0º latitude is false regarding International Date Line as International Date Line follows 180º longitude and not 0º latitude line.
