All depths are from the surface of the Earth. The Crust--The outer skin of the planet is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock. Continental Crust: Comprised predominately of rocks most resembling granite, the continental crust is relatively thick compared to the oceanic crust with a depth that ranges from 30 km to 50 km. The average specific gravity of continental crustal rock is 2.7. Oceanic Crust: At an average depth of 5 km to 10 km, the oceanic crust is thinner than the continental crust. Oceanic crustal rocks are composed mainly of the igneous rocks basalt, diabase, and gabbro, which are mafic in composition. The average specific gravity of oceanic crustal rock is 2.9. Lithosphere: See below. The Mantle--The layer directly below the crust which is delineated from the crust by the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, where seismic waves increase in velocity. The division between the mantle and the crust is a chemical one, the rocks and constituent minerals being higher in magnesium and lower in silicon and aluminum than crustal rocks. The mantle comprises 84% of Earth's volume. Upper Mantle:Lithosphere: The uppermost mantle consists of hard rock and is attached to the crust and comprises the lithosphere. The lithosphere is comprised of tectonic plates which 'float' independently of each other. The lithosphere contains more mantle than crust. Oceanic lithosphere ranges from 50 km to 100 km in thickness, and continental lithosphere ranges from 40 km to 200 km. Asthenosphere: Just below the lithosphere lies the asthenosphere, an area of highly viscous but solid rock. Its viscosity allow it to move slowly over time, which it does as it transfers heat to the lithosphere via convection currents. These convection currents are responsible for the movement of Earth's tectonic plates. The depth of the asthenosphere averages somewhere between 100 km and 200km with depths up to 410 km. Transition Zone: The depth of the transition zone is between 410 km and 660 km. The rock here is mostly peridotite, a coarse grained igneous rock, kept from melting by extremely high lithostatic temperatures. Temperatures in the transition zone range from 1400 degrees C to 1600 degrees C. The Lower Mantle: The depth of the lower mantle ranges from 670 km to 2798 km. Little is known about the lower mantle other than that seismic waves indicate it is fairly homogenous in lithology. D'': The D'' area of the mantle extends from 2798 km to 2900 km, which is the boundary between the mantle and the liquid outer core. At this level, the pressures are enormous, roughly equal to 1.4 million units of atmospheric pressure, and temperatures are over 4,000 degrees C. The Outer Core: The outer core lies at a depth from 2900 km to 5150 km. It's composed of liquid iron and nickel along with small amounts of lighter elements, with temperatures ranging from 4,000 degrees C to 6,100 degrees C near the boundary with the inner core. The Inner Core: From the boundary with the outer core to the center of the Earth, a distance of about 1220 km is the solid sphere of the inner core, a ball of incredibly hot iron-nickel alloy. Temperatures here reach between 5,000 and 7,000 degrees C, and pressures are calculated to be around 3,000,000 units of atmospheric pressure. Despite the high temperature, at these pressures the metals cannot remain molten.
The lines on a globe are comprised of the lines of latitude and longitude of the earth. The special lines accompanying them are called the lines of tropics. Specifically, the 5 tropic lines include the equator, Tropic of Capricorn, Tropic of Cancer, the Artic Circle and the Antarctic Circle.
Zero = equator
66.5 north latitude = Arctic Circle
23.5 north latitude = Tropic of Cancer
23.5 south latitude = Tropic of Capricorn
42.03618 north latitude = the parallel that goes through my house
It is made of crust, lithosohere, mantle, outer core and inner core.
The five major lines of latitude from north to south are the Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Antarctic Circle.
your question is obscure - can you rephrase?

The main ones running horozontal are- Equator(round the middle), the line caprican, the line of cancer. the horozontal one is the international dateline.
It not an equator
no
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
Lines of longitude.
"Parallels" of latitude. Those are the lines that are drawn horizontal on the globe or map.
the horazontal lines on a globe
The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
The lines of latitude on a globe measure the distance east and west.
Latitude.
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
there are 36 lines of latitude respectively
There are several. They are called lines of longitude and latitude which help people locate where they are on the globe. There are also some other, special lines such as the Equator, the Prime Meridian, and the International Date Line.
The main ones running horozontal are- Equator(round the middle), the line caprican, the line of cancer. the horozontal one is the international dateline.
East-West lines are called lines of latitude. North-South lines are called lines of longitude.
