Before I try to look for the correct answer, can you tell me if this question looks right? I was wondering if my teacher meant to put something other than 20 degrees N and 10 degrees N? Question - Name five countries in Africa that have coastlines on the Atlantic Ocean and lie on or between 20 degrees N and 10 degrees N?
Can you help?
No. Your teacher is correct.
This map shows these countries pretty clearly.

Absolutely! I can help you verify if the question seems correct. According to your question, your teacher is asking for five countries in Africa that meet the following criteria: they have coastlines on the Atlantic Ocean and are positioned between 20 degrees N and 10 degrees N latitude. Let's break it down step by step.
1. Verify the latitude:
- Check if 20 degrees N and 10 degrees N are valid latitudes within the boundary of Africa.
- You can use an online map or atlas to confirm this. Simply search for a map of Africa or use a geolocation tool to identify the latitude bounds of Africa.
2. Determine countries with coastlines on the Atlantic Ocean:
- Once you confirm the latitude bounds, identify the countries that have coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean.
- Again, you can use an online map or an atlas to determine which African countries touch the Atlantic Ocean.
Combine these two steps to determine if the question is correct:
- Identify the latitude boundaries of Africa (20 degrees N and 10 degrees N).
- Verify the countries whose coastlines are on the Atlantic Ocean within those latitude boundaries.
If you are unable to find five countries that meet both criteria, it is possible that your teacher made an error in the question or there might be additional information missing. In that case, you could approach your teacher to clarify the question or discuss any potential mistakes.
Remember, the aim is to ensure accuracy and fully understand the requirements of the question before attempting to answer it.
