What are some lines of latitude?
Latitudes are parallel lines around the earth, parallel with the equator and marking the same distance from the equator. They are referred to as the angle made at the centre of the earth, from the equator to the point in question. The poles are at ninety degrees from the equator, so the maximum angle for any parallel of latitude, is 90 degrees. The equator is at zero.
What lines that run parallel on the earth called?
They are called the latitudes.
What is the imaginairy line around the earth called?
the equator ========= There are many imaginary lines around the Earth. In fact, there are an infinite number of imaginary lines. The two main types of imaginary lines are parallels of latitude (of which the Equator is one) and meridians of longitude.
What two lines divide earth into its four hemispheres?
latitude logitude
Does metamorphism have crystals in parallel lines?
what i think no. metamorphism can't make crystals in parallel lines.
How do lines of latitude run in relation to the equator?
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
Does lines of longitude circle the earth parallel to the equator?
Yes it does
What Lines of run parallel to the equator?

What do you call the parallel lines that circle the globe?

What parallel lines divides the earth into 2 equal parts?
The Equator divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator both to the north and to the south.
Do lines of latitude circle Earth paral lel to the Equator?
YES!The way you remember which is which ... Longitude has 'Long' in it. Lines of longitude are always the same length because they circle the Earth from Pole to Pole, the LONG way around.Lines of Latitude on the other hand, circle the Earth getting progressively shorter the further North or South of the Equator they are.
