What range of latitude does South America span?
Answer (2)
South America is both north of the equator and south of the equator (mostly south). Punta Gallinas Columbia is the northern most point of South America at 12 degrees 25 minutes 16.24seconds N to 56 degrees 0 minutes 6.19 seconds South and from east/west
34 degrees 47 minutes 15.97 seconds West to 81 degrees 22 minutes 47.78 seconds west.
South America spans latitudes from approximately 12° 25' N at Punta Gallinas, Colombia, to about 56° S at Cape Horn. The continent includes areas both north and south of the equator, primarily exhibiting tropical climates, particularly in the northern regions. Regions farther south experience more temperate climates, especially in places like Patagonia.
