Any two lines of longitude you choose get closer togetheras they proceed from the equator to the poles.
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.

Two volcanoes which are on the map south of the equator are the Chimborazo volcano and the Cayambe volcano.

"Zero latitude" is the line closest to the equator, because it's the definition of the equator itself. Once you leave the equator, there's no such thing as the "closest line". Any parallel of latitude you draw, no matter how close it is to the equator, I can always draw one that's closer. There's no 'official' set of lines. You can draw as few or as many lines as you want, wherever you want them.
