Is latitude form north and south?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
What is the center of latitude?
All points that are exactly mid-way between the north and south poles are centered between the extremes of latitude, and they're assigned the latitude of zero. There are an infinite number of them, and if you draw all of them on a map, they blend together to form a line, which is called the "equator".
What do lines of latitude measure on earth?
Lines of latitude and longitude are used to form a grid encompassing the globe so that any position can be identified and located. Latitude is used to measure distance north and south of the equator, while longitude is used to measure distance east and west of the prime meridian.
What is the name of the line that goes across the map from west to east?
east and west hemisphere
Does the equator mean the measurement of longitude and latitude?
If you mark a dot on the globe at every point on Earth that's exactly midway between the north pole and south pole, the dots blend together to form a line all the way around the middle of the globe. That line is called the equator. The latitude of any place on Earth is measured north or south from the equator. The latitude of the equator itself is zero.
Is latitude form north and south?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
Are the lengths of lines latitude equal to each other?
No, as you move north (or south) form the equator, they form smaller and smaller circles. -- The length of the zero latitude line (the equator) is about 24,900 miles. -- The length of the 30-degrees latitude line (either north or south) is about 21,500 miles. -- The length of the 60-degrees latitude line (either north or south) is about 12,400 miles. -- The length of the 90-degrees latitude line (north or south pole) is zero.
Do tornado air masses form north of 50 degrees north latitude or south of 50 degrees south latitude?
There is no such thing as a "tornado air mass" but tornadoes can occur north of 50 degrees. Tornadoes have been recorded in northern Europe, including the UK and Scandinavia.
What are the north-south and east-west lines on a map that cross each other to form a rectangular pattern called?
North and South- Latitude or parallels East and West- Longitude or meridians
What is the center of latitude?

What do lines of latitude measure on earth?
Lines of latitude and longitude are used to form a grid encompassing the globe so that any position can be identified and located. Latitude is used to measure distance north and south of the equator, while longitude is used to measure distance east and west of the prime meridian.
What imaginary lines form the earth's grid system?
The imaginary lines that form the earths grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines go horizontally from east to west, where longitude lines go vertical from north to south.
What is the name of the line that goes across the map from west to east?
east and west hemisphere
Do latitude units go east and west?
No. The latitude of a point on Earth is the angle on the surface starting at the equator and measuring north or south to the point of interest. All points on Earth that have the same latitude form a line that displays east-west on a map or globe.
Latitude is the distance north and south of the?
Equator. Rather than distance, it is represented as an angle in degrees and parts of a degree. The angle is that formed at the center of the earth, between the lines form the center to the equator, and the center to a point north or south on the surface. Latitude is a horizontal line, on the lines of the equator, such as the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. So it would define north or south if that answers your question.
Does the equator mean the measurement of longitude and latitude?
