What is a controlling meridians?
In traditional Chinese medicine, the concept of controlling meridians refers to a relationship between meridians where the flow of energy can be regulated or altered. Each meridian is paired with another meridian that can help balance and control its function. By working on specific points along these controlling meridians, a practitioner can influence the flow of energy in the body to promote health and well-being.
Do all paralles and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the mercator?
Yes.
Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?
No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
what are the main properties of parallels and meridians?

What dose each pair of meridians make?

What is the pattern of meridians on the Mercator?
The Meridians are lined in a pattern on the Mercator. They are all parallel to each other and converge at the poles when viewed on a globe.
How many meridians make up the western hemisphere?
12
How many meridians are there on the earth surface?
There are a total of 360 meridians on the Earth's surface, running from the North Pole to the South Pole. Each meridian is spaced 1 degree apart, helping to define longitudinal coordinates on maps and globes.
Do vertical angles have to be a linear pair?
No, in fact, vertical angles can't be a linear pair. Vertical angles are opposite from each other which also make them equal each other. A linear pair has two angles adjacent to each other that eqaul 180 degrees.
A basic geography questions - Do all of the parallels and the meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and Mercator?
On a globe, parallels and meridians do not intersect at right angles; only the equator and the prime meridian intersect perpendicular to each other. On a Mercator projection map, the meridians appear as straight lines converging at the poles, while the parallels are equally spaced horizontally, giving the illusion that they intersect at right angles, when in reality that is not the case.
What cuts each other at 90 degree angles in parallels and meridians?
Parallels and meridians are the lines that make up the Earth's grid system for navigation and mapping. Parallels are lines of latitude that run horizontally, while meridians are lines of longitude that run vertically. They intersect each other at right angles, or 90-degree angles, creating a coordinate system that helps in pinpointing locations on the globe. This grid system is essential for navigation, geography, and various scientific applications.
What are the major differences between parallels and meridians?
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.

What do lines of longitude or meridians extend from?
Each meridian of longitude joins the north and south poles.
Why longitude lines are also called median?
meridians are imaginary lines that are not parallel to each other.
Which direction do Yin meridians flow?
Of the twelve regular meridians, the yin meridians always flow up the body, and all the yang meridians always flow down.
