What else can I help you with?
Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator?
On a globe, parallels and meridians meet at right angles only at the equator and the poles. On a Mercator projection map, all meridians intersect the equator at right angles, while parallels intersect meridians at right angles throughout the map.
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
Which parallels are not circles?
a cylinder
Is the equator parallel to the meridian?
Nothing is parallel to any meridian. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and is parallel to all the other parallels. This is a big part of the reason that, collectively, they are called 'parallels'.
Is the equator a parallelor meridian?
It's actually parallel to the parallels, since the parallels are by definition parallel to the equator.
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
Is the equator parallels or a meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
Is the equator a parallels or a Meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
Which imaginary lines are based on the equator?
The lines are latitude,heat equator and pressure belts.
Why are Lines of latitude are sometimes called parallels because they never?
Lines of latitude are called parallels because they run parallel to the equator and never intersect each other. They are always equidistant apart and are used to measure distance from the equator in degrees north or south.
Are all parallels great circles?
No, not all parallels are great circles. A great circle is the largest possible circle that can be drawn on a sphere, and it divides the sphere into two equal hemispheres. Parallels, or lines of latitude, are circles that run parallel to the equator, and only the equator itself is a great circle. Other parallels, such as those near the poles, are smaller circles and do not divide the sphere into equal halves.
The parallels above the equator are which direction?
north
