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.
The lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary over the planet?
coordinate grid
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
What lines connect the North and South pole?
Longitude, longitudinal As opposed to latitude (horizontal lines circling the earth.
What are lines of longitude and which ways do they run?
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
What geometric shape are lines of longitude?
Great circles.
What imaginary lines form the earth's grid system?
The imaginary lines that form the earths grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines go horizontally from east to west, where longitude lines go vertical from north to south.
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.
How does a cartographer lessen distortions in size and shape by curving lines of longitude?
when you curve the lines of longitude it's more accurate because the globe is curved so it lessens the distortions.
Why are meridians also called longitude?
longitude are lines that go from north poles to south poles just like longitude lines meridians are vertical and are form north to south u get it rite?
What are the invisible lines that's form east west circles around the earth?
The lines of latitude and longitude.
The lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary over the planet?
coordinate grid
What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude
Lines of longitude are not parallel why?
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
What lines on a map form a grid that enables you to locate any point on the earth?
The lines on a map that form a location-finding grid for any point on the earth are known as the geographic coordinates of latitude and longitude. Lines that arc around the globe along an east/west axis are the latitude lines, while the north/south arcing lines are longitude lines.
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
What is a different word for longitude lines?
"Lines" of constant longitude are "meridians".
