Do lines of latitude help us determine absolute location?
Lines of latitude must be used with lines of longitude to help us find the absolute location. Lines of latitude alone cannot determine absolute location.
What do latitude and longitude tell us?
The lines on a map or globe that go vertically and match with the lines of latitude to tell the exact pin points of a place.
Most of the continental US is located between these two lines of latitude?
ALL of the territory in the contiguous 48 states is locatedbetween 24.521° and 49.384° North latitude.Hawaii adds 18.911° to 22.235° North.Alaska adds 51.216° to 71.389° North.There's no telling what lines may be printed on the map or globe that you happen to belooking at.Don't fall into the widespread trap of thinking that there is some official set of 'lines'.You would not ask "What two marks on the ruler is your height located between ?"You would ask "How tall are you ?"
What Imaginary lines that help us determine location?
equator , prime merdian
Which US state is located at the same latitude as Saint Petersburg?
Alaska
What latitudes are parallel?
All lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The equator is the line of latitude at 0 degrees. Lines of latitude in the northern hemisphere have a positive latitude or are designated with "N" for North. Likewise, lines latitude in the southern hemisphere have a negative latitude or are designated with "S" for South.For example, the continental US (not including Hawaii and Alaska) is contained within the lines of latitude at 25 N and 50 N.
Is most of the US located in the low middle or high latitude?
Most of the USA - all of the "Continental US" - is "mid-latitude". The State of Hawaii is "low latitude", while Alaska would be considered "high latitude". The boundaries are subject to some level of interpretation.....

What compass direction is assigned to all lines of latitude in the US?
East/West
What are the lines on maps and globes that help us find places?
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.
What are the latitude lines for the US?
To measure the distance on the Earth's surface North or South of the Equator.
What are lines of latitude A the equator B lines that go east or west around the globe or map C hemisphere?
The lines of latitude are lines that go east and west around the globe or map ,the equater us the line in the middle that separates north and south :)
What Imaginary lines that help us determine location?
equator , prime merdian
Is most of the united states on the same latitude of what continent?
Most of the US is located on the North American continent. However, most of the US is not located on the same latitude. If this were true, the US would be one straight horizontal line.
