Explanation:
[STC00785] The equator cuts a horizontal line through the center of Africa, crossing Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia. It also passes through South America and Asia, but of the three equatorial continents, Africa is the only one that also touches the prime meridian (in the countries of Algeria, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, and Togo). Null Island, which is found in the Gulf of Guinea off the west coast of Africa, is the location of the intersection of the prime meridian and the equator. This intersection is also known as the Prime Meridian Point. Even though there isn’t any land there, the coordinates 0 degrees North and East are marked by a small weather buoy that is anchored there.
