What else can I help you with?
Are lines of longitude also called meridians?
yesYes.
Lines of longitude meet where?
Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.
Where do the meridians meet?
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.
What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude
What is a different word for longitude lines?
"Lines" of constant longitude are "meridians".
What is characterized as vertical imaginary lines on the Earth's surface?
Lines of longitude, or meridians.
What is a map projection where the lines of longitude are parallel called?
That's true of the Mercator projection, among others.
Is it true that lines of longitude divide the globe into units called poles?
Lines of longitude appear vertical with varying curvature in this projection, but are actually halves of great ellipses, These lines met at the poles but the distances between these lines are divided into degrees, minutes and seconds. There is no unit expressed as a "pole."
Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?
No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.
Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
These are vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian?
Vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian are lines of longitude.
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
