Where do the lines that run north to south come together at?
If you mean the longitude lines, as seen on a globe, they meet at the North Pole and at the South Pole.
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.)
Why do longitude lines converge while latitude lines do not?
Longitude lines show the number of degrees east and west of the Prime Meridian. They are farthest apart at the equator and converge to a single dot at the north and south poles. Latitude lines show distance north and south from the equator. Because they are parallel to the equator, they never converge. Latitude at 90o north and south can be shown only as a dot, not a line.
What longitude is the south pole?
All of the Earth's longitudes converge (meet, come together) at both thenorth pole and the south pole.The south pole is located at 90 degrees south latitude and every longitude.
Where do the lines of latitude converge which means come to a single point?
Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, so do not converge. Lines of longitude do converge, at the north and the south poles.
Where do latitude lines all come together?
They don't. Lines of longitude come together at the North and south Poles.
Do the lines of longitude go side to side?
You could describe lines of longitude as going from side to side, but since the Earth is a sphere (or more precisely, an oblate spheroid) the lines that go from side to side still come together at the poles.
Where do all the lines of longitude come together?
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
Where do the lines that run north to south come together at?
If you mean the longitude lines, as seen on a globe, they meet at the North Pole and at the South Pole.
Are lines of longitude parallel?
No. All meridians of longitude converge (meet, come together) at the north pole and at the south pole. If there's any other place where they're not all together, then they can't be parallel. Everywhere else except at the poles, they spread all the way around the Earth. So they're not parallel.
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.

Where do all longitude lines come together?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles. To look at it another way,the north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude and every longitude.
What lines of longitude meet at the south pole?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.No matter what longitude you're at,-- if you stay on it and go north, you wind up at the north pole,-- if you stay on it and go south, you wind up at the south pole,because all longitudes come together at the poles.
Why do longitude lines converge while latitude lines do not?
Longitude lines show the number of degrees east and west of the Prime Meridian. They are farthest apart at the equator and converge to a single dot at the north and south poles. Latitude lines show distance north and south from the equator. Because they are parallel to the equator, they never converge. Latitude at 90o north and south can be shown only as a dot, not a line.
Parallel lines which come together at a vanishing point are called?
An illusion. Parallel lines, by their nature can never come together.
Where do lines of longituded come together?
They come together at the North and South Poles.
Where is the south pole located at?
All possible lines of longitude come together at two points, called the north pole and the south pole. The south pole is located in the continent of Antarctica.
