What are the 2 meridians that devide between east and west?

Since the earth is a sphere (a ball), you can reach any place you want to reachby going in either direction from where you are. (That was the whole idea behindChristopher Columbus' project to reach India by going west from Spain, and hewas perfectly correct. He just didn't know that North and South America were inthe way.)Be that as it may, if it ever was, you can reach any continent you want by goingeast or west from the Prime Meridian, and in fact, if you want to get to Europe,Africa, or Antarctica, you don't have to leave the Prime Meridian at all, becauseit crosses those.The eastbound trip is shorter than the westbound trip if you're headed for Asia orAustralia. And there's also a part of North America that's closer to the Prime Meridianin the east direction than the west direction.

Which reference line passes through both the geograhic North Pole and the geographic South Pole?

-- Parallels of latitude don't ever touch the poles. -- Technically, meridians of longitude touch the poles but don't pass through them, because the north and south poles are the two ends of each meridian. So they all meet at the poles, but don't pass through.
