What conclusion can be drawn from India's latitudinal extent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India lies in the Northern Hemisphere

The correct answer is D. India lies between about 8°4′ N and 37°6′ N latitude on the mainland, so every part of its mainland is north of the Equator and therefore belongs to the Northern Hemisphere. The governing concept is the relationship between latitude and hemispheres: north latitudes indicate the Northern Hemisphere, while south latitudes indicate the Southern Hemisphere. Option A is the opposite of the actual situation, and option B is wrong because India does not extend across 0° latitude, the Equator. Option C confuses latitude with longitude; India is in the Eastern Hemisphere because its longitudes are east of Greenwich, but its latitudinal position places it in the Northern Hemisphere.
