∙ 12y agoThe Prime Meridian is the line of all the points on earth whose longitude is zero.
It joins the north and south poles and passes through Greenwich, a suburb of
London, England.
It runs straight north-south, and also passes through Spain France, and several
countries in Africa.

∙ 13y agoThe Prime Meridian is an imaginary line ... shown as a line on some maps and globes ...
that joins the north and south poles. The longitude of every point on it is defined as
zero. It doesn't "run" in any direction.

What hemisphere is Virginia located in?
Virginia is located on the Western and Northern hemisphere according to the prime meridian and equator.
The name given to 0 degrees latitude?
The 0 degrees latitude line is called the equator.
Which city is closest to prime meridian?
Greenwich, Greater London, which is near The City of London, England. Hence the term Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Note: See the linked information below. The City of London is actually a small area of about one square mile in the centre of what is officially known as Greater London. The prime meridian passes through Greater London about six miles to the south east of The City of London.
What are the three directions in which stress can be applied?
In any three orthogonal directions.
Difference between dense regular connective tissue and dense irregular connective tissue?
Dense regular has dark-staining collagen fibers that run parallel to each other. It provides connections between bone-to-bone and muscle-to-bone, and it is strong and can stand great tensile stress. Dense regular can be found in ligaments and tendons (i.e. white fibrous tissue). Dense irregular is not dark-staining, and the collagen fibers aren't parallel. The structure of the fibers allows support from many directions. Dense irregular is found in the dermis of the skin. In general, a 'regular' issue means that its fibers run in the same direction, while a 'irregular' tissue's fibers run in all directions.
What lines on a map that run parallel to the Prime Meridian?
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
In which directions is Asia from the equator and from the prime meridian?
Almost but not quite all of Asia is east of the Prime Meridian, and almost but not quite all of it is north of the equator.
What 3 continents does the prime meridian run through?
The prime meridian runs through three continents. These continents include Europe, Antarctica, and Africa. The prime meridian is also referred to as the Greenwich meridian.
What is the line of longitude that runs 0 degrees?
The prime meridian, which passes through Greenwich, England.
Does the Prime Meridian run horizontally or vertically?
The Prime Meridian runs vertically (from North to South) at zero degrees longitude.
Which way does the prime meridian run?
north to south
Does prime meridian run through greenwichengland?
Yes
Does the prime meridian run through Ghana?
Yes.
Does the prime meridian run through Algeria?
Yes.
Do the prime meridian run vertical or horizontal?
vertical
What line does the prime meridian run on?
The Prime Meridian is the imaginary line made up of all points on Earth with zero longitude.
