Question

How can you define what the 10th parallel is physically and culturally

Answer 1

Answer:

In physical terms, the “tenth parallel” is the line of ten degrees north latitude on the globe, approximately 700 statute miles (600 nautical miles) north of the Equator.

In cultural terms, it is the line Griswold posits as “the latitude line in Africa and Asia where Christianity and Islam often meet and clash.”
