The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What else can I help you with?
Does Africa have parallel lines and intersecting lines?
No. The lines on maps are imaginary - they do not exist.
Why do mapmakers use imaginary lines on maps and globes?
These lines are not actually on the planet, but are imaginary lines used to help us find our way around the curved surface of Earth
Why are latitude and longitude important to maps?
They are imaginary lines drawn on maps that help in navigation and in fixing the position of a ship or aeroplane.
Why was a need fell to draw imaginary lines on the globe?
The imaginary lines of longitude and latitude drawn on maps and globes of the Earth, is to aid navigation and accurately locating spots on the Earth's surface.
Are globes and maps marked with imaginary lines for geographers to use colocate on earths surface?
Yes
Why is it necessary to have latitudes and longitudes on maps or globes?
these are the imaginary lines to check the gmt and location of a place
What are the imaginary lines that measure distance on maps and globes?
east and west
Where can you see latitude and longitude?
You can see latitude and longitude on maps and globes, since they are imaginary lines that cannot be seen on the surface of Earth.
What are imaginary vertical lines found on maps are called?
Lines of longitude are imaginary vertical lines that represent the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of a point east or west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich). Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians. The lines of longitude run from the North pole to the South pole and at the poles all the lines of longitude intersect at a single point.
Why are lines of latitude and longitude imaginary lines?
The lines are "imaginary", because they don't really exist in nature. We created most of those lines, mathematically, and we use these lines to help us describe where we are. We draw those lines on the maps and globes to help us describe things. There's one of those "imaginary" lines that have some physical meaning; the equator.
What is the imaginary line that connect two poles?
The direct line across the Earth's or any astronomical body's diameter from pole to pole is its axis. The circumferential lines imagined on the surface are the Lines of Longitude.
In what way can the imaginary lines on the globe help?
The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
