Answer:

The 'prime meridian' crosses the equator on the 'Atlantic Ocean'.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The point where the Prime Meridian and the Equator intersect each other is the confluence of coordinates 0° longitude and the 0° latitude.
  • This point of confluence lies on the 'Atlantic Ocean', and to be more specific, it lies right on the 'Gulf of Guinea'.
  • The closest point on land from the intersection of the Prime Meridian and the Equator is situated on the western coast of the African continent in a country named Gabon.

The correct answer is - The Atlantic Ocean.

The prime meridian, Greenwich meridian, is cutting across the Atlantic Ocean at the place where the equator lies. This crossing appears right below, or rather south, of the coast of the country of Ghana, and just west of the coast of the countries of Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
