How many latitudes in northern hemisphere?
The same as the number of different lengths on a 3-foot ruler. Or, for that matter, on a 1-foot ruler. The number is infinite. If you name two latitudes, then I can always name another one that's between yours, no matter how close together yours are. Don't be fooled by the latitude 'lines' that you see on some maps and globes. That's certainly not the only latitudes there are, any more than the marks on a ruler are the only possible lengths.
Why were globes invented?
Globes were invented to give a more accurate depiction of the world. Previously, all there were maps, which not only distorted the size and shape of landmasses and oceans but also helped perpetuate the false assumption that the world was flat.
What is the northern most latitude on the earth?
The northernmost latitude is 90 degrees north. Only one point is there ... the north pole.
What is the furthest point west on the UK mainland?
The lighthouse at ARDNAMURCHAN point, situated on the coast directly west of Glencoe,must be the most westerly point of Mainland Britain. Not only does it measure more west than Lands end, but once you take into account Britains Westerly tilt, ( not shown on a lot of maps ), it is way west
Why is the taiga region found only in the northern hemisphere?
There is no correspondingly large continent at the corresponding Southerly latitude in which it can develop.
Are lines of longitude and latitude rays?
No , Lines of Latitude and Longitude are not rays because they do not go on infinitely (forever). They are only imaginary lines that exist on Earth.
What do the lines of latitude and longitude mean since they are not visible?
Lines of latitude and longitude are only shown only maps so as to help people navigate and pinpoint places on Earth with more accuracy.
What is the exact point where a line of latitude and a line of longitude meet?
Such points have no significance, mainly because there are no 'lines'. Every pointon earth is a point where a latitude and a longitude intersect.Some maps and globes print some 'lines', and some don't. Those that do may print'lines' every 30
What two places on the Earth have only Latitude lines and no longitude?
The North and South Poles.
What two location on globe only list latitude lines but not longitude lines?
The north and south poles are at 90° latitude, and ALL longitudes meet there so longitude at the poles is irrelevant. Honestly, it's much easier to discuss these things if you forget about "lines".
Latitude and longitude lines help geographers identify .?
Location. They are intersections like a street corner, only on a global scale.
Difference between latitude and longitude?
The difference between latitude and longitude is that latitude refers to a location point's distance that is either north or south of the equator and longitude refers to a specific point's distance that is either east or west of the prime meridian. The prime meridian is the longitude line that has zero degree and passes near London, United Kingdom.
Are the lines of longitude and latitude measured in inches degrees hours?
The lines are never measured. They're only markers. Latitude and longitude are angles, that describe the locations of points on the surface of a sphere. They're expressed in units of angle measure, typically in decimal degrees, or degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Are the lines of latitude and longitude measured in inches degrees or hours?

Is the kilauea map its on longitude or latitude?
Every point on Earth has a longitude and a latitude. The only exceptions arethe north and south poles. Each of them has a latitude and every longitude.
Imaginary line of latitude?
All lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary; there are no parallels or meridians printed on the Earth. Only three latitude lines have any physical significance; the equator, the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Everything else is dependent on our systems of measurement.
What is a trick to help you remember in which direction latitude and longitude lines lie?
Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.
