Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

The equator line is an imaginary dividing line, responsible for dividing the earth into two hemispheres: north and south. It is also perpendicular to its earth rotation axis. Its length is 40 thousand kilometers.

In general, most of the equator line focuses on the ocean. However, when it cuts across continents, 13 countries are crossed. They are:

  • In America: Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil;
  • In Africa: Sao Tome and Principe, Gabon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya and Somalia;
  • In Asia: Maldives and Indonesia;
  • In Oceania: Kiribati.
