The poles are just points at 90 degrees north and south latitiude.
As lines of latitude get closer to the poles, they get shorter in length and converge towards a point at the poles. This is because the Earth is a sphere, and the lines of latitude represent circles around the Earth. The lines of latitude are farthest apart at the equator and gradually come together towards the poles.
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
longitude
Yes, the circles formed by the lines of latitude get smaller as they get closer to the North and South Poles. This is because the lines of latitude are parallel to each other, so as they approach the poles, they shrink in size until they reach a point at the poles themselves.
Latitude lines
No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.
No they do not
At the North and South Poles of the Earth.
longitude and latitude
Lines of Latitude, i think:)
All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, except the poles ,which are dot/points.
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
