Question

which continent lies at approximately 20° s, 140° e?
south america
asia
australia

Explanation:

To determine the continent at \(20^\circ \text{S}, 140^\circ \text{E}\), we analyze the coordinates: \(20^\circ \text{S}\) is in the Southern Hemisphere, and \(140^\circ \text{E}\) is in the Eastern Hemisphere. Australia is in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres, matching these coordinates. South America is more westward, and Asia is more northward in latitude for this longitude.

Answer:

Australia
