When traversing the South American continent from North to South, which of the following options represents the correct latitudinal sequence of these capital cities?
(i) Quito
(ii) Bogotá
(iii) Santiago
(iv) Lima
- (ii) – (i) – (iv) – (iii)Cevap
- B(i) – (ii) – (iv) – (iii)
- C(ii) – (i) – (iii) – (iv)
- D(iv) – (i) – (ii) – (iii)
Cevap
The sequence starting with Bogotá, followed by Quito, Lima, and ending with Santiago is correct.
Bogotá (Colombia) is located north of the Equator at roughly 4.6° N latitude, making it the northernmost of the four cities. Quito (Ecuador) sits at approximately 0.2° S latitude. Moving further south, Lima (Peru) is located at approximately 12.0° S latitude, while Santiago (Chile) lies furthest south at approximately 33.4° S latitude. Thus, the sequence (ii) – (i) – (iv) – (iii) represents the precise North-to-South alignment.
