Are latitude lines called meridian?

Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.


How many lines of longitude does a line of latitude intersect?

Every line of longitude intersects with every line of latitude and vic-versa.


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.


Which line latitude and longitude parallel?

All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.


The lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of what?

Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, and are parallel to the Equator. Lines of Latitude are intercepted by Lines of Longitude. Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude and passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.


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.


How many lines of longitude does one line of latitude intersect?

Every line of constant latitude intersects every possible longitude, and vice-versa.


What is the latitude and longitude of 60th parallel s?

The 60th parallel South is a line of latitude crossing all lines of longitude.


Why are latitude and longitude line important?

The lines of latitude and longitude are important because we need them to describe exactly where a point is on Earth.


Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?

-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
