Question

1. which continent lies between 15°n and 60°s?

Explanation:

To determine the continent between \(15^\circ\text{N}\) and \(60^\circ\text{S}\), we analyze the latitudinal ranges of continents. South America has a latitudinal range that spans from around \(12^\circ\text{N}\) (northern part) to about \(55^\circ\text{S}\) (southern part), which falls within \(15^\circ\text{N}\) and \(60^\circ\text{S}\). Other continents: Africa's southernmost point is around \(35^\circ\text{S}\), but its northern range is more north, but the key fit here is South America's range within the given latitudes. Asia is mostly north of \(15^\circ\text{N}\) in significant parts, Europe is north of \(15^\circ\text{N}\), North America is north of \(15^\circ\text{N}\) for most, Australia is between about \(10^\circ\text{S}\) and \(45^\circ\text{S}\) (narrower, but South America's range is a better fit for the full \(15^\circ\text{N}-60^\circ\text{S}\) span). Antarctica is south of \(60^\circ\text{S}\) mostly. So South America lies between \(15^\circ\text{N}\) and \(60^\circ\text{S}\).

Answer:

South America
