The meridians meet at the poles, which are the points on Earth's surface where the lines of longitude converge. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude meet, and the same is true for the South Pole.

Meridians of what meet at the 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.
How many meridians are there on the earth surface?
There are a total of 360 meridians on the Earth's surface, running from the North Pole to the South Pole. Each meridian is spaced 1 degree apart, helping to define longitudinal coordinates on maps and globes.
On a globe the meridians converge toward the poles What is the pattern of meridians on the Mercator?
On a Mercator projection, meridians appear as straight, parallel lines running from top to bottom of the map, spaced evenly apart. This is because the Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection that preserves straight lines of constant bearing, resulting in meridians being stretched vertically towards the poles.
How many meridians are in the world?
There are 360 meridians in the world, as they are lines of longitude that divide the Earth into 360 degrees from the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England.
How are meridians numbered?
The Prime Meridian is numbered zero degrees. Meridians, or lines of longitude, are numbered with increasing numbers of degrees both east and west of the Prime Meridian. On the opposite side of the world from the Prime Meridian is 90 degrees, which is also the International Date Line.
Where do the meridians meet in antarctica?
The meridians meet at 90 degrees South latitude -- the South Pole.
What meridians meet the poles?
All of them do.
What meridians meet at the poles?
All of them
Where do all meridians meed?
All meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north and south poles.
Can meridians of longitude to be parallel?
No. One characteristic of parallels is that they never meet or intersect.But all of the meridians of longitude meet at both the north pole andthe south pole.
Does the prime meridian meet the international date line in antarctica?
All meridians of longitude converge (come together) at the north and south poles.So any two meridians you choose meet at the poles.
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
Which lines on the globe all meet?
All meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north pole and south pole.
Longtitude of the southpole?
Longitude at the poles is irrelevant. All of the meridians meet at the poles.
What is the name for the line that meet at the north and south poles?
Those are "meridians of longitude".
What is the name for the line that meet at North and South Pole?
Those are "meridians of longitude".
What is the name for the lines that meet at the north and south poles?
Those are "meridians of longitude".
