Step-by-step solution for: Cardinal directions worksheets | TPT
It looks like you've uploaded a geography worksheet titled "Continents and Oceans: Location Identifiers", which includes a world map and 10 questions asking students to identify continents and oceans based on their relative positions (e.g., "north of," "south of," "east of").
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve the worksheet based on standard geographic knowledge. Here's how to answer each question using the world map:
---
The map shows:
- Continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia (Oceania), Antarctica
- Oceans: Arctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean
Directional compass: North is at the top.

1. Which ocean is *north* of North America?
→ Arctic Ocean
*Explanation:* The Arctic Ocean lies above North America, surrounding the North Pole.
2. Which ocean is *south* of South America?
→ Atlantic Ocean (on the east side) and Pacific Ocean (on the west side)
*But since it asks for one, likely expecting:* Atlantic Ocean
*Note:* Technically both are south, but the Atlantic is more directly south-east.
3. Which continent is *south* of Asia?
→ Australia (Oceania)
*Explanation:* Australia lies directly south of Asia across the Indian Ocean.
4. Which continent is *south* of Europe?
→ Africa
*Explanation:* Africa is located directly south of Europe across the Mediterranean Sea.
5. Which continent is in the *southernmost* (most south) on the map?
→ Antarctica
*Explanation:* Antarctica is centered on the South Pole and is the southernmost continent.
6. Which continent is *south* of Antarctica?
→ None
*Explanation:* Antarctica is at the South Pole — nothing lies further south.
7. Which continent is *east* of the Indian Ocean?
→ Australia (Oceania)
*Explanation:* The Indian Ocean lies between Africa and Australia; Australia is to its east.
8. Which continent is *south* of Europe?
→ Africa
*(Same as #4)*
*Explanation:* Again, Africa is directly south of Europe.
9. Which continent is *south* of the Pacific Ocean?
→ Antarctica
*Explanation:* The Pacific Ocean extends from the Arctic to Antarctica, so Antarctica lies south of it.
10. Which continent is *east* of Europe?
→ Asia
*Explanation:* Asia borders Europe to the east (they meet at the Ural Mountains).
