How many lines of longitude does one line of latitude intersect?
Every line of constant latitude intersects every possible longitude, and vice-versa.
Lines of latitude and line of longitude are perpendicular?
So as to create a particular location on the grid where they intersect.
The lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of what?
The lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of longitude. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and help determine the east-west position of a location on the Earth's surface.
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
Do lines of latitude sometimes intersect explain?
Lines of latitude encircle the earth, with the Great Circle being the Equator. Each line of latitude is parallel to each other, so will never intersect.
What type of line is a parallel?
Parallel lines are two lines that will never intersect, like this.________________________________________________________
Which line latitude and longitude parallel?
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.
When you move away from the equator where do meridians go?
Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.
How do you use latitude and longitude coordinates to find an absolute location on a map?
First, look on the map to find the line of latitude that the coordinates reference. If the exact line of latitude isn't shown on the map, estimate it by looking at the lines that are available. Then look on the map to find the longitude line that the coordinates reference. Once you have found the two lines, follow them both towards the point where they intersect. That is the location the coordinates reference.
Do longitude lines pass through the equartor?
The Equator is a longitude line. Latitude lines pass through the equator.
How are the lines of latitude and longitude used to locate points on Earth's surface?
The lines of latitude provide vertical (north-south) coordinates on a map or globe. Lines of longitude provide horizontal (east-west) coordinates. The defined geographical point is where the latitude line intersects the longitude line.
