Answer:

South America is located entirely within the Western Hemisphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

South America is a continent across the equator, which is largely in the southern hemisphere, except for a small part in the north, and entirely in the western hemisphere. South America is located between the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean. North of this continent is North America. The Andes, a mountain range, stretch to the west of this continent. The area east of the Andes is mostly tropical and tropical rainforests are included, including the Amazon region.
