Question

the purple arrow on the map above is pointing to the _______, an important line of latitude. a. tropic of capricorn b. equator c. international date line d. prime meridian please select the best answer from the choices provided. a b c d

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Tropic of Capricorn is a latitude line but is at 23.5°S, not the main horizontal line dividing the globe.
• Option B: The Equator is the 0° latitude line, a major horizontal line (latitude) dividing the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
• Option C: International Date Line is a longitude - related line (for time zones), not latitude.
• Option D: Prime Meridian is 0° longitude, a vertical line, not latitude.

Since the question asks for a line of latitude, and the Equator is a key latitude line, the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B. Equator
