What lines measure distance east and west of the prime meridian on a globe or map?
All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
Which one line is parallel latitude or longitude?
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
Do any lines of longitude pass through the equator if yes then what are the names of then and why?
All lines of longitude pass through the Equator.
As you move north to south from the equator lines of longitude become what to one another?
The meridians of longitude become closer together. Because eventually, at the poles, they all have to meet at the same points.
What are imaginary vertical lines found on maps are called?
Lines of longitude are imaginary vertical lines that represent the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of a point east or west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich). Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians. The lines of longitude run from the North pole to the South pole and at the poles all the lines of longitude intersect at a single point.
What lines measure distance east and west of the prime meridian on a globe or map?
All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
At what point of earth do all lines of longitude meet?
All lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.
What is the name for all the vertical and horizontal lines found on a globe?
They are lines of longitude and latitude, often just longitudes and latitudes.
Does each line of longitude parallel to another line of longitude?
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
Which one line is parallel latitude or longitude?
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
What lines pass through 90 latitude?
All the lines of longitude.
Do any lines of longitude pass through the equator if yes then what are the names of then and why?
All lines of longitude pass through the Equator.
What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
What are the lines on a map running north-south that show distances east or west of the prime meridian?
Meridians of Longitude All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
Where do all longitude lines come together?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles. To look at it another way,the north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude and every longitude.
Do lines of longitude meet?
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
As you move north to south from the equator lines of longitude become what to one another?
The meridians of longitude become closer together. Because eventually, at the poles, they all have to meet at the same points.
