Final answer:

The Mediterranean Sea is north of Africa, the Danube River crosses many European countries, and the Black Sea borders Northern Asia. The Pacific Ocean is not north of Europe but lies to the east of Asia, and the Baltic Sea is in Northern Europe, not Southern Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct descriptions of bodies of water in the Eastern Hemisphere are:

  • The Mediterranean Sea is north of the continent of Africa.
  • The Danube River crosses many countries in Europe.
  • The Black Sea borders Northern Asia.

The incorrect statements are:

  • The Pacific Ocean is not north of Europe; it is farther to the east, lying east of Asia and north of Australia.
  • The Baltic Sea is not in Southern Europe; it is situated in Northern Europe and borders several countries including Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Sweden.
