Which is the only continent through which the Equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn pass?

Africa is the only continent crossed by all three of these major imaginary lines. The Equator passes through central Africa, while the Tropic of Cancer crosses the northern part and the Tropic of Capricorn crosses the southern part. This gives Africa territory in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and across much of the tropical zone.
