Longitudes and latitudes meet at every point on the planet. since both latitude and longitude are human ideas, not real objects, nothing is formed at those intersections. however, if you know which particular latitude and longitude meet at some specific point of interest, then you know the map coordinates of that place.
A mathematician would say that any line of longitude and any line of latitude form a right angle where they meet.
