The 6th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 6 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Damage from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami was concentrated at this latitude.

Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 6° north passes through:

The 7th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 7 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 7° north passes through:

The 8th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 8 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Central America, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.
