What is the lines that run north and south on a globe and intersect the poles?

If you pick a longitude and mark a dot at every point on Earth with that longitude,
the dots will form a line between the north and south poles. The imaginary line is
called the "meridian" of that longitude.

Where do the lines that run north to south come together at?
If you mean the longitude lines, as seen on a globe, they meet at the North Pole and at the South Pole.
Where do longitude lines intersect?
Longitude lines, also known as meridians, converge at the Earth's poles. Specifically, all the lines of longitude intersect at both the North Pole and the South Pole. This is because the poles are the most extreme points on the Earth's surface in terms of latitude and they serve as the origin points for longitude measurement.
Do great circles on a globe have to pass through the North and South poles?
All lines of longitude meet at the poles; none pass through. No lines of latitude connect at or pass through either pole.
Lines of longitude meet where?
Lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.
What is the line of latitude near the north pole?
All the lines of longitude intersect at the earths poles and their point of intersection is the position of the pole.
Which direction do earths parallel lines run?
East to west. The north to south lines intersect at the poles.
What do you call the lines on a map or globe that meet at the north and south poles?
Meridians - or lines of longitude.
What are the lines on the globe that run north and south between the poles?
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.

What is the difference between a meridian and parallel?
A meridian is a line of longitude running north-south on the Earth's surface, while a parallel is a line of latitude running east-west. Meridians converge at the poles, while parallels are equidistant from each other. Meridians help in determining time zones, while parallels help in measuring distance from the equator.
Why are lines of longitude are not parallel to each other why?
All meridians of longitude begin and end at the same two points ... the north and south poles. Although they all appear parallel to each other as they cross the equator, I guess it's more comfortable to say that they're not parallel, since they all intersect.
Do great circles on a globe have to pass through the North and South poles?
All lines of longitude meet at the poles; none pass through. No lines of latitude connect at or pass through either pole.
Lines of longitude meet where?
Lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.
What direction does longitude travel on the globe?
Longitude lines connect the North and South Poles and measure distances east or west of Greenwich.
What is the line of latitude near the north pole?
All the lines of longitude intersect at the earths poles and their point of intersection is the position of the pole.
Do lines of latitude divide the globe into things called poles?
No they do not
