How are Paraguay and Zambia similar?
My answer is- Both are surrounded by other countries and both of them are completely under the Equator. Is this correct?
Your answer is partially correct. Paraguay and Zambia do have some similarities, but not all of the points you mentioned are accurate.
1. Geography: Paraguay is a landlocked country located in South America, surrounded by Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia. Zambia, on the other hand, is a landlocked country located in southern Africa, surrounded by eight countries - Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. So, both countries are surrounded by other nations.
2. Equator: Paraguay is situated entirely in the Southern Hemisphere, below the Equator. However, Zambia straddles the Equator, with the majority of its territory located in the Southern Hemisphere, and a smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, it is not entirely under the Equator.
In summary, Paraguay and Zambia share the characteristic of being landlocked countries surrounded by other nations. However, their location with respect to the Equator differs.
