Thank YOU FOR THE MAP SIGHT. I see how my answer was totally wrong. That's what I get for taking the easy way out.
What continents does the Arctic Circle pass through? My answer is North America, Europe, and Asia. Is that correct?
Yes, you're right.
You're welcome. Your own answers are almost always right. :-)
Yes, your answer is correct! The Arctic Circle does pass through North America, Europe, and Asia. It is an imaginary line that marks the southernmost point at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours during the June and December solstices. The Arctic Circle encompasses parts of these three continents, specifically:
1. North America: In North America, the Arctic Circle passes through the northernmost regions of Alaska (United States) and the Yukon and Northwest Territories (Canada).
2. Europe: In Europe, the Arctic Circle crosses through the northernmost regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and a small portion of Russia.
3. Asia: In Asia, the Arctic Circle passes through the northernmost regions of Russia, including the Komi Republic, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
To determine the continents that the Arctic Circle passes through, one can refer to a map or globe which clearly shows the location of the Arctic Circle.
