Central African Republic, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia
-- the Arabian Sea

10 degrees south latitude is a specific location that lies 10 degrees south of the Equator. This would place it in the Southern Hemisphere, closer to the South Pole.
All of the points having either of those latitudes
are exactly the same distance from the equator.
It is 10 degrees South and 76 degrees West, as stated in the question!
10 degrees north is closer to the equator. As you move closer to the equator from either the north or south, the latitude values decrease. In this case, 10 degrees north is closer to the equator (which is at 0 degrees latitude) than 20 degrees south.
The line 10 degrees south latitude and 20 degrees east longitude crosses over the country of Madagascar.
The location at 10 degrees south latitude and 75 degrees east longitude is in the Indian Ocean.
