Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude.
Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude.
At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).

When lines of longitude and latitude cross they make a?
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
What do we call the place where latitude and longitude lines cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
Which is the Latitude and which the Longitude?
The one that measures the angle from the equator and is tagged 'north' or 'south' is the latitude. The one that measures the angle from the Prime Meridian and is tagged 'east' or 'west' is the longitude.
All lines of latitude meet at what line?
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
What is the starting lines for measuring latitude and longitude?
Latitude is an angle measured north or south from the equator. Longitude is an angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian
Do lines of longitude cross lines of latitude?
They intersect, yes.
What two special lines of latitude cross North America?
What 2 lines of latitude cross north American
When lines of longitude and latitude cross they make a?

What do we call the place where latitude and longitude lines cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
How is the lines of latitude and longitude different?
The 'latitude' of a location is its angle north or south of the equator. The 'longitude' of a location is its angle east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Which is the Latitude and which the Longitude?
The one that measures the angle from the equator and is tagged 'north' or 'south' is the latitude. The one that measures the angle from the Prime Meridian and is tagged 'east' or 'west' is the longitude.
In what country do the lines of 10n latitude 0 longitude cross?
Africa
Do lines of latitude ever meet?
They don't cross other latitude lines. They cross longitude lines.

What country do the lines of 10S latitude and 20E longitude cross?
Angola
What is it called when lines of longitude and latitude cross?
There's no standard set of "lines", and there's no particular word that describes the intersection of a latitude and a longitude, since every one latitude intersects every possible longitude on Earth, and vice-versa. The crossing of a longitude 'line' and a latitude 'line', and their numbers, is exactly how any one specific point on the Earth's surface is located and described.
