Question

Accepted Answer

### Question 1
# Brief Explanations:
From the map, the equator is labeled as $0^\circ$ latitude.
# Answer:
$0^\circ$

### Question 2
# Brief Explanations:
Looking at the map, North America is entirely above the equator (the $0^\circ$ latitude line). South America has parts above and below.
# Answer:
North

### Question 3
# Brief Explanations:
On the map, Mexico is positioned above the equator (north of $0^\circ$ latitude), so it is North of the Equator.
# Answer:
North

### Question 4
# Brief Explanations:
The $140^\circ\text{W}$ meridian is shown. Hawaii (a state) is west of $140^\circ\text{W}$ (since longitudes west of $140^\circ\text{W}$ have higher west - facing numbers like $150^\circ\text{W}$, $160^\circ\text{W}$, $170^\circ\text{W}$, $180^\circ\text{W}$ and Hawaii is in that region).
# Answer:
Hawaii

### Question 5
# Brief Explanations:
The United States is shown above the equator (north of $0^\circ$ latitude) on the map.
# Answer:
Above

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:
Peru's position relative to $60^\circ\text{W}$: Looking at the longitude lines, Peru is west of $60^\circ\text{W}$ (since longitudes to the west of $60^\circ\text{W}$ have higher west - facing values like $70^\circ\text{W}$, $80^\circ\text{W}$ etc. and Peru is in that area).
# Answer:
West

### Question 7
# Brief Explanations:
Peru is between the equator ($0^\circ$) and $20^\circ\text{S}$ (from the latitude lines on the map, Peru's latitude range is between $0^\circ$ and $20^\circ\text{S}$).
# Answer:
$20^\circ\text{S}$

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are between $50^\circ\text{W}$ and $60^\circ\text{W}$ (by looking at the longitude lines on the map, their longitude range is between these two meridians).
# Answer:
$60^\circ\text{W}$

### Question 9
# Brief Explanations:
Canada's position: $60^\circ\text{N}$ is a more northern parallel than $40^\circ\text{N}$. All of Canada is above $60^\circ\text{N}$ (from the map, Canada is in the region north of $60^\circ\text{N}$ while $40^\circ\text{N}$ is more southern and parts of the US are around $40^\circ\text{N}$).
# Answer:
$60^\circ\text{N}$

### Question 10
# Brief Explanations:
Looking at the longitude lines passing through Argentina on the map, the lines are $70^\circ\text{W}$ and $60^\circ\text{W}$ (and other possible ones, but these are prominent).
# Answer:
$70^\circ\text{W}$, $60^\circ\text{W}$ (and others like $50^\circ\text{W}$, $40^\circ\text{W}$ may also pass through, but $70^\circ\text{W}$ and $60^\circ\text{W}$ are common)

### Question 11
# Brief Explanations:
For Mexico, the longitude lines passing through it: From the map, $110^\circ\text{W}$ and $120^\circ\text{W}$ (and other adjacent ones, but these are key).
# Answer:
$110^\circ\text{W}$, $120^\circ\text{W}$

### Question 12
# Brief Explanations:
Most of Colombia: The equator is $0^\circ$. Colombia has a large part north of the equator (since it is above the $0^\circ$ line for the most part, with only a small southern part maybe crossing).
# Answer:
North
