How can you determine direction on a map that doesn't have a compass rose?
By the Longitude and Latitude lines -slim
What is a trick to help you remember in which direction latitude and longitude?
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
In which cardinal Direction does a parallel or line of latitude run?
Lines of latitude run east and west (like rungs on a ladder) and meridians (lines of longitude) run north and south
Why would you use lines of latitude and longitude?
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
What way is latitude?
The direction of latitude is horizontal, while longitude is up and down. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
What direction do lines of longitude go?
on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.

Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
What is the difference between lateral and longitudinal directions?
Lateral direction runs from east to west and longitudinal direction runs from north to south. Latitude lines are parallel and equidistant from each other. The distance between latitude lines is approximately 69 miles. The equator is at 0 degree latitude. Longitude lines are known as meridians and converge at the poles. Longitude lines are widest at the equator.
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
What is a trick to help me remember in which direction latitude and longitude lines lie?
Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.
In which cardinal Direction does a parallel or line of latitude run?
Lines of latitude run east and west (like rungs on a ladder) and meridians (lines of longitude) run north and south
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
