Elevation
The lines that run up and down on a map are called longitude lines, while the lines that run from side to side are called latitude lines. Longitude lines measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator. Together, these lines form a grid system that helps in identifying specific locations on the Earth's surface.

they are called lines of LONGITUDE ( the vertical or up and down lines) and LATITUDE (the horizontal or side to side lines)
Lines that go side to side, but never touch, are known as parallel lines. The two railway lines on which a train runs along is a common example of parallel lines.
Latitude go side to side and longitude do up and down

The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.

There is a poem called At the Sea Side by Louis Stevenson, and it is six lines long.
Latitudinal lines run East West along the earth's surface. An easy trick to remember is thinking "lat is flat" therefore the lines are flat when you are looking at a globe or 2D map.Latitude lines can also be called "PARALLELS"
