What imaginary parallel lines run around the globe?
Yes. Horizontal lines of latitude that run across the globe are known as parallels or latitude.
Lines of longitude are not called parallels because?
Because all longitudes converge (merge, meet, come together) at the north and south poles. Since parallel things can't do that, we know that lines of longitude must not be parallel, and since they are not parallel, it would be very misleading to call them parallels. The whole subject is confusing enough as it is.
Which direction do parallels run?
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
Would two cities between two meridians be in the same time zone?
yes
What is the importance of chromosome duplication prior to mitosis?
If DNA didnot replicate, only half of the genetic material would go into each cell.
What is the another name for a parrallels of longitude?
There are no parallels of longitude, because longitudinal lines aren't parallel. We call them "meridians". Lines of latitude ARE parallel, and so the expression "45th parallel" would be an accurate description.
What imaginary parallel lines run around the globe?
Yes. Horizontal lines of latitude that run across the globe are known as parallels or latitude.
Do beavers have webbing?
yes if they didnot the would not be able to swim.

How many meridians are there in a globe?
360 meridians in a Globe. -Tomi Jade
Do all parralles and marideans meet at angles other than 90 degrees?
Meridians and circles of latitude (parallels) will meet at an angle of 90 degrees at the equator only. All other crossings will not be 90 degrees as they converge to the two poles. To correct the previous answer: All meridians crossing parallels are not at 90 degrees due to the curvature of the spherical triangle's three sides. However, they will all cross at 90 degrees as viewed each from a specific point in space which would be perpendicular to the earth's N-S axis and directly over (in line) with the meridian.
What would you lose if you didnot have the sun?
The food and warmth we need to survive. It would also seriously meddle with gravity.
Will a navel piercing interfear with the meridians and shockras in your stomach?
This question would best be answered by someone who is familiar with meridians and shockras and ancient herbal and mystic medicine.
What is the location of Mongolia using the parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude?
As Mongolia covers an area of 1,564,115.75 km2, (603,909 sq mi), we cannot give you every latitude and longitude of the country, (we would be here a very long time), but it's capital Ulan Bator is located at 47°55′N 106°53′E.
Which direction do parallels run?
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
Would two cities between two meridians be in the same time zone?
yes
