at the poles. do you know what happens to a degree of longtudeas you moe towards the poles?
Greenwich.
The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.
A. at zero degress
No lines are parallel to the Prime Meridian. All of the meridians of longitude are farthest apart at the equator, and all converge at the north and south poles. Parallel lines would be the same distance apart everywhere, and never meet.
No, the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line do not meet in Antarctica. The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, England, while the International Date Line is located in the Pacific Ocean. Antarctica is located on the opposite side of the globe from these lines.
The Norwegian sea.
The zero mark, at the Prime Meridian, and the 180 mark, the "anti-meridian" in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, are the places where the same line is the edge of both east and west longitudes. But all of the lines ('meridians') that mark a constant longitude meet at the north and south poles.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. Also, the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line meet at the poles.
The Prime Meridian is the line that marks all points at Zero longitude. TheInternational Dateline roughly follows the meridian of 180° longitude. Sincethose two lines mark different longitudes, the only place where they can meetwould be a place where all longitudes come together. Fortunately, there aretwo of those on Earth . . . the north and south poles.They meet at 90° north latitude and at 90° south latitude.
The prime meridian is at all latitudes.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles including the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line.
Accra, Ghana is about 385 miles north of that point in the Gulf of Guinea..
