Technically I can't answer that, because I have no way to know whether you're
asking about the Elmira in Ontario, California, Michigan, Prince Edward Island,
or Oregon. But I'll answer it anyway, for the Elmira in New York, just because
I grew up near there.
The center of the intersection of E Water St and Lake St, downtown on the north
bank of the river near the County Historical Society Museum, is located at 42.0884° north latitude
76.8010° west longitude. You can draw a line on the map at ANY latitude and ANY longitude. If you draw a
set of lines at those numbers, than that's where they'll cross. There's no official
set of 'lines' that everybody has to use.
But ... I didn't say that Elmira is "located at" that latitude and longitude. A set of
"coordinates" describes a single point, so it's not possible for the whole city to be
right there. There are an infinite number of OTHER points that are also in Elmira
and all have different coordinates.

Which lines meet at the poles latitude or longitude?
longitude
This is formed when the latitude and longitude lines meet?
Grid
All lines of latitude meet at what line?
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
When lines of longitude and latitude cross they make a?
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.

Where do longitude and latitude lines meet?
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. No two points have the same set of two numbers.
Do lines of latitude ever meet?
Yes, lines of latitude are parallel to each other and never meet. They run East-West around the Earth and are used to measure distance north or south of the equator.
What are sets of numbers that show where lines of longitude and latitude meet are called?
Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.
When lines of longitude and latitude cross they make a?
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
Explain why two lines of latitude never touch?
Lines of latitude are parallel to each other and never intersect because they are equidistant from the equator. As they run east-west around the globe, they maintain a consistent distance from each other, ensuring that they never touch or cross paths. This unique characteristic makes lines of latitude a useful reference point for determining locations on Earth's surface.
What is the location of aisa where the lines of latitude and longitude meet?
You'll have to be more specific. Every latitude crosses all longitudes, and every longitude crosses all latitudes.
How you use latitude and longitude to locate somewhere on a map?
Use the latitude and longitude lines on the map along with the coordinates. Find where the two coordinates meet and that will be the location you are looking for.
Where if at all do lines of latitude meet?
Lines of latitude never meet.
