Cevap

The correct sequence of mainland African sovereign nations traversed by the Equator (0∘0^\circ latitude) from west to east is Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia.
The correct answer accurately tracks the latitudinal line of 0∘0^\circ (the Equator) across mainland Africa starting from Gabon on the Atlantic coast, progressing eastward through the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and Kenya, and reaching the Indian Ocean coast in Somalia.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the westernmost mainland entry point of the Equator (0∘0^\circ latitude) on the Atlantic coast.
The Equator enters mainland Africa through the Atlantic coastal nation of Gabon.
Gabon forms the western landfall point for the equatorial parallel.
2
Trace the equatorial parallel eastward across Central Africa.
After Gabon, the Equator crosses the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) and then the vast territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
These two nations occupy the central equatorial belt of Africa.
3
Trace the line across East Africa to its exit point on the Indian Ocean.
Continuing eastward from the DRC, the Equator crosses Uganda, passes through Kenya, and exits into the Indian Ocean through Somalia.
Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia form the East African segment of the 0∘0^\circ parallel.
