What are the imaginary lines that measure distance north to south of the equator?
parallel lines, or lines of latitude.
Imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator are lines of?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
What are the imaginary parallel lines that run east-west?
Latitude lines, longitude lines run north south
What are imaginary lines running east and west showing distance north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude
What imaginary lines are numbered in degrees north and south of the equator?
lines of latitude, also known as parallels
What are imaginary lines that run east to west and measure distance north and south of the equator called?
the answer is longitude and latitude lines
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 are the imaginary lines that run north and south across the earth called?
Imaginary lines that run north to south are known as lines of longitude. Longitude lines are the imaginary lines running through the Earth between the North and South Poles. They are arbitrary and used for reference so everyone can know where they are in the world. The lines running north and south are called "meridians" or "lines of longitude."
What is the lines of latitude and Meridian of longitude?
Lines of latitude run east-west around the Earth and are parallel to the equator. The equator is at 0° latitude, with lines increasing to 90°N at the North Pole and 90°S at the South Pole. Lines of longitude run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure east-west distance. The Prime Meridian is at 0° longitude and runs through Greenwich, England.
What lines drawn on maps help locate places?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
What is the term for the imaginary parallel lines that circles the earth?
Latitude and LongitudeLatitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
