What does the parallel and meridians have in common?
Meridians are lines of longitude. The meridian lines go from the North pole to the South pole, such that all the lines converge at a single point on each pole. These lines measure degrees east and west of the prime meridian, which is located at 0 degrees.
Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator?
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
Which pole does the longitude lines connect?
The south pole
All the lines of longuitude do this at the north pole?
All the lines of longitude meet or converge at the North Pole - they meet at the South Pole too!
What lines of a map run from north pole to the south pole?
lines of equal longitude, a.k.a. meridians
What dierction do longitude lines go?
North and south, from pole to pole.
What are imaginary lines that go through the north pole and south pole called?
longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west

Are the lines that run pole to pole are called?
Lines of Longitude
What are the lines that go through the north pole and south pole?
No geographic mapping lines go "through" the poles. The meridians of longitude are semi-circles that join the poles, so the ends of the meridians are at the poles.

Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator?
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
What are longitude lines?
lines that run from the north pole to the south pole!
Why are the electric lines are on top of the pole?
Electric lines are on top of the pole to keep them out of the way.
what direction do lines of longitude run on the earth?
Longitude lines run from pole to pole.
Lines of longitude are semicircles that extend from the north pole to the south pole?
No. Longitude is east and west of the equator. Lines of Latitude run from the north pole (prime meridian) to the south pole. Try thinking of latitude as the word "ladder" because ladders go up and down. Just a hint ;)
Which pole does the longitude lines connect?
The south pole
