What lines on a map that run parallel to the Prime Meridian?
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
What are the imaginary lines parallel to the prime meridian?
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
Which lines are parallel to each other on map?
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
What lines are parelle to the prime meridian?
No lines are parallel to the Prime Meridian. All of the meridians of longitude are farthest apart at the equator, and all converge at the north and south poles. Parallel lines would be the same distance apart everywhere, and never meet.
Imaginary north to south lines parallel to the prime meridian that circle the globe vertically is?
Lines of longitude.
What is the name of the line that is parallel to the prime meridian?
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
What is a imaginary north south lines parallel to the prime meridian that circles the globe vertically?
Lines of longitude.
Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator?
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
Describe patterns of meridians on the Mercator?
They go straight up and down in parallel. (This is as opposed to a Robinson Projection where they bow out and away from the Prime Meridian.)
Do the prime meridian run vertical or horizontal?
vertical
What lines run north and south but are measured east and west of prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian (of 0 degrees west or east) run north-south through Greenwich in London, UK. Lines that run north-south that are parallel to the Prime Meridian (but which meet at the poles) and which describe the distance west or east of this line are called lines of Longitude.Lines of Latitude describe the distance north or south of the equator.
At what latitude does the prime meridian lie?
The Prime Meridian is a Longitudinal line. That is, it runs North and South between the poles. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the equator and measure distance North or South of the equator. They run East and West, perpendicular to longitudinal lines. The Prime Meridian is at all latitudes.
