What are meridians of longitudes and parallels of latitudes?
Name the two meridians east of the meridian on this map.
What are the parallels and latitudes on maps?
Parallels are lines that go up and down the map, latitudes are lines that go across the map from side to side.
What are the imaginary lines on the maps?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What is imaginary lines called?
On the earth (and planetary/stellar bodies) they are called latitudes and longitudes.
Why is it necessary to have latitudes and longitudes on maps or globes?
these are the imaginary lines to check the gmt and location of a place
What is the name for all the vertical and horizontal lines found on a globe?
They are lines of longitude and latitude, often just longitudes and latitudes.
Differences between parallels and meridians?
-- Parallels are associated with latitudes. Meridians are associated with longitudes. -- Parallels are parallel, and no tweo parallels intersect. All meridians intersect all other meridians, at two places. -- Every point on a parallel has the same latitude. Every point on a meridian has the same longitude. -- Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length. Every meridian on Earth has the same length. -- Every parallel is a full circle. Every meridian is a semi-circle. -- Every parallel crosses all longitudes. Every meridian crosses all latitudes. -- The distance between two parallels is the same at every longitude. The distance between two meridians depends on the latitude where it's measured. -- To cross all parallels, you only have to travel 12,000 miles. To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles.
What is the network of latitudes and longitudes?
The network of latitudes and longitudes refers to a system of geographical coordinates that are used to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface. Latitudes are horizontal lines that measure the distance north or south of the equator, whereas longitudes are vertical lines that measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. Together, these coordinates provide a precise way to identify any place on the planet.
Which map is an equal area projection where latitudes are represented by parallel lines but longitudes are represented by ellipses?
Atlas maps.
What longitudes and latitudes is Afghanistan between?
to the nearest minute between longitudes 60e31 & 74e53 & between latitudes 29n22 & 38n29
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.
