Where do the lines of latitude converge which means come to a single point?
Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, so do not converge. Lines of longitude do converge, at the north and the south poles.
What is the name of the spot where lines converge?
The vertex
Why wre latitudes otherwise called as parallels?
Because unlike lines of longitude which converge on the poles, lines of latitude are parallel to each other: that is, they never converge.
What are the characteristics for a place where things meet or converge?
There is no single characteristic for a place where things meet or converge. I would like to say that the place must be something physical, lines can converge on a page (or a screen), people can converge at a lunch table, rail lines converge in many places. However, that place isn't necessarily physical, you can have a meeting of minds, or ideas that converge in a single mind or in time.
Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?
Not quite. Lines of latitude are called parallels, and they never touch each other. The meridians are lines of longitude, and all of them converge at the poles.
Why do longitude lines converge while latitude lines do not?
Longitude lines show the number of degrees east and west of the Prime Meridian. They are farthest apart at the equator and converge to a single dot at the north and south poles. Latitude lines show distance north and south from the equator. Because they are parallel to the equator, they never converge. Latitude at 90o north and south can be shown only as a dot, not a line.
What does the phrase converge at the poles mean?
The Earth is imagined to have lines drawn on it, called lines of longitude, which pass through both the north and the south poles, forming circles around the world. Since they come together at both poles, they are said to converge, meaning, they get closer and meet. As they move away from the poles, they move apart, and therefore they diverge at the equator. Then they converge again as the approach the opposite pole.
What is the different between parallel and convergent?
Parallel lines Never Converge
Definition of horizon lines in reference to perspective drawing?
The point at which horizon lines receding from an observer seem to converge.
What is the denfinition of vanshinng point?
In drawing it is the point at which parallel lines appear to converge.
Longitude lines meet?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.
Do lines of longitude meet?
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
