North/South
Longitude, and meridians.
longitudes or meridians
Yes ;)
Meridians join the Poles of the Earth and intersect the equator at right angles, thus the direction is North/South.
Meridians of longitude run from pole to pole Parallels of latitude run east-west
Parallels are lines of latitude that run east-west around the globe, while meridians are lines of longitude that run north-south. Parallels are always equidistant from each other, while meridians converge at the poles. Parallels help locate positions north or south of the equator, while meridians help locate positions east or west of the Prime Meridian.
This depends on the track; most run anticlockwise (known as 'lefthanded' tracks) but some tracks are run clockwise (called 'righthanded' tracks).
Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.
Meridians of longitude run north and south. Parallels of latitude run east and west.
Meridians of longitude.
Meridians are lines of longitude on the Earth's surface that run from the North Pole to the South Pole, helping to define locations in terms of east-west coordinates. They are important for navigation and mapping purposes.
Meridians are lines of longitude that run north-south and connect the North Pole to the South Pole. There are 360 meridians that divide the Earth into 360 degrees of longitude, with the prime meridian at 0 degrees.
