What else can I help you with?
Why are lines of latitude and longitude useful to a geographer?
Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.
What lines run north and south but are measured by how far a specific location is from the equator?
lines of longitude
What are the 2 places lines of longitude meet?
The poles.
What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude
What Longitude lines connect at the blank and blank?
Longitude lines connect at the North and South Poles. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole, converging at both ends. Each line represents a specific degree of longitude, measuring east or west of the Prime Meridian.
What do you call the lines that make up the grid on your maps?
Those are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run east-west, measuring north and south of the Equator. Longitude lines run north-south, measuring east and west of the Prime Meridian. Together, they help determine specific locations on a map.
This is formed when the latitude and longitude lines meet?
An intersection of latitude and longitude lines is called a coordinate, pinpointing a specific location on Earth's surface. The coordinates are typically measured in degrees to indicate the exact position, with latitude lines running horizontally and longitude lines vertically. This system enables precise mapping and navigation.
What are the invisible lines around the earth?
The invisible lines around the earth are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north and south of the equator, while lines of longitude run north-south and measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian. These lines help in locating specific points on Earth's surface.
What is a different word for longitude lines?
"Lines" of constant longitude are "meridians".
What is characterized as vertical imaginary lines on the Earth's surface?
Lines of longitude, or meridians.
What is the name of the thin lines that run across a map?
The thin lines that run across a map are called longitude and latitude lines. Longitude lines run north to south, while latitude lines run east to west. These lines help in pinpointing specific locations on the Earth's surface.
Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
