There's no standard set of "lines", and there's no particular word that describes the

intersection of a latitude and a longitude, since every one latitude intersects every

possible longitude on Earth, and vice-versa.

The crossing of a longitude 'line' and a latitude 'line', and their numbers, is exactly

how any one specific point on the Earth's surface is located and described.

No, lines never meet and cross one another because they are parallel lines and parallel lines never meet or cross each other.

If you pick ANY latitude and ANY longitude, and then look for the place on Earth
where they cross, you'll find that they cross perpendicular, i.e. at a right angle.
