Which term represents 0° latitude?

A. North Pole

B. international date line

C. equator

D. prime meridian

north pole represents 0

The correct answer is C. Equator

Explanation:

The latitude refers to the location of a place on Earth in reference to North or South. In this way, zones located on the Equator, which is an imaginary line that marks the northern and southern hemisphere, represent 0° latitude while the North Pole represents a latitude of 90°, the South Pole a latitude of 90° and places between any of these zones represent a latitude between 0° and 90° depending on how North or South they are from the Equator. Thus, the one that represents 0° latitude is the Equator as this is the line that divides the Earth into two "equal" hemispheres and therefore is used as the reference for latitude.
