What else can I help you with?
What directions are latitude lines used?
Lines parallel to the equator.
Latitude lines run in which two directions?
North and South
What are the only two directions lines of latitude can have?
east and west
What are the lines that circle the globe in east-west and north-south directions?
"Lines of Latitude" and "parallels" are both used. Please note that the "lines" are imaginary; you'll never see one on the ground. Just on a map.
Which directions does lines of latitude or parallels measure distances?
in the way of which the degree of a line travels
What direction do latitude and longitude lines travel?
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
What directions do latitude and longitude lines go into north or south east or west?
noth and east
In which directions does a parrallel or line of latitude run?
Lines of latitude, or parallels, run horizontally around the Earth (east-to-west or west-to-east).
Does lines of latitude run in a no r th-south or east-west direction?
'Lines' of latitude remain where they are at and do not run. Since every point on the same parallel of latitude is at the same north or south latitude, the only directions left for it to extend in length are east and west.
In which directions do lines of latitude and longitude run?
Latitude lines run east-west, but measure north and south. Longitude lines run north-south, but measure east and west.
What direction can one travel from the south pole?
Technically, North. Basic compass directions can be separated into two categories: those that run the lines of latitude, East and West; and those that run the lines of longitude, North and South. The lines of longitude converge to single points at the poles, and are all of equal length. The lines of latitude, however, run parallel to each other, and get shorter as they approach the poles. The poles are the extreme north and south ends of the planet. Take, for example, the south pole. if you walk around it in a circle, you would be walking exactly along a line of latitude. Needless to say, the compass directions are not as helpful at those extremes.
If you needed to give directions that would tell how far you were from the equator would use the lines of longitude?
No, you would use latitude.
