The prime meridian is an imaginary line from which lines of what are constructed to help determine location?
The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line from which angles east and west are measured in order to help define and describe locations. The angle thus measured is called the location's 'longitude'.
How are distances measured on a map?
East and west distances can be measured using longitude lines, imaginary lines that connect the Earth's poles. The distance between any two longitudes is the greatest at the equator, and zero at the poles.
What are the imaginary lnes that run east to west around earth called?

Where are Lines of latitude?
They are drawn on the earth as imaginary lines that run from east to west.
What lines are called the lines of longertude?
Lines of longitude are imaginary lines running from the North to the South Poles of the Earth. They are often referred to as Meridians. They are measured in terms of the angular distance east or west from the prime Meridian which runs through Greenwich, England.
