Lines of latitude, which include -
the Arctic Circle;
The Tropic of Cancer;
The Equator;
The Tropic of Capricorn;
The Antarctic Circle.
The one in the middle is the equator.
Latitudinal lines run from east to west.

∙ 13y ago"longitude" is the term used for pinpointing a specific point east or west of the prime meridian on a map. The lines of longitude run from the north pole to the south pole, ie vertically on a traditional map.

∙ 12y agoThese are called lines of latitude. You can remember the horizontal lines by thinking that 'flatitude' rhymes with latitude. That's how I remember it.

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.
Describe a way to remember that lines of latitude run east and west or across the map?

Lines of longitude are semicircles that extend from the north pole to the south pole?
No. Longitude is east and west of the equator. Lines of Latitude run from the north pole (prime meridian) to the south pole. Try thinking of latitude as the word "ladder" because ladders go up and down. Just a hint ;)
Which imaginary line circles the earth at 23.5o S latitude?
The lines on a globe which run north and south are called meridians, or lines of longitude. They run from the North Pole to the South Pole, and only in pairs do they "circle" the Earth.They are used to calculate distance between points on the Earth's surface in an east-west direction. Beginning at the arbitrarily-defined Prime Meridian (0° longitude), they are measured in degrees east or west of that line, which is an angular measurement that can be translated into rough linear distance.Used in conjunction with the lines of latitude (measuring distance north or south of the equator), they can define any point on the surface of the Earth.
What are the major cities that run through the San Andreas fault?
It runs just to the west of San Francisco, and ~60km to the north east of Los Angeles.
What are the lines that run east and west on a globe?
Lines that run east and west is called Latitude. The opposite lines are known as longitude.
What imaginary parallel lines run east and west around the globe?
Lines of Latitude
Where do the lines of latitude run fr?
East-West circling the globe.
Is longitude around the globe or east and west?
Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
What are two names for the lines that run east to west on a globe?
They are the lines of latitude, and they are also called parallels.
Is the Longitude the distance east or west of the prime meridian?
Yes
What are the lines on the globe that run north and south between the poles?
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
What direction does the line latitude run?
If a map or a globe has latitude 'lines' printed on it, they will point east-west.
What are the lines that run north and south on a globe?
The lines on a globe that run north and south are called lines of longitude, or meridians. They measure distance east or west from the arbitrary Prime Meridian or Greenwich Meridian, established as 0° longitude.
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 are the imaginary lines on a globe that run east to west and measure the distance north to south?
Those would be the 'parallels' of constant latitude.
What directions do lines run?
It runs from East to West/West to East
