Lines that run parallel to the equator are called?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
Do Africa longitude and latitude go north and east?
There are places in Africa with north latitudes and other places with south latitudes. Similarly, there are places in Africa with east longitudes and places with west longitudes. That's because both the equator and the Prime Meridian cross Africa.
Is Lines of latitude is parallel?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
What do you call lines that run east and west north and south of the equator?
Lines of longitude run vertically from the north pole to the south pole. The Prime Meridian (zero longitude) runs through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England. Lines that run parallel to the Equator (zero latitude) are lines of latitude.
How Distinguish between latitudes and longitudes?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator. Lines of longitude run vertically - passing through both poles.
Which of these lines of latitude runs through Africa equator tropic of cancer tropic of Capricorn?
There is no continent crossed by all of them.Equator:South America, Africa, AsiaPrime Meridian:Europe, Africa, AntarcticaTropic of Cancer:North America, Africa, AsiaTropic of Capricorn:South America, Africa, Australia
What are the lines on the globe called?
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
In which direction does a parellel or line of latitude run?
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
Latitude lines run in which two directions?
North and South
What are the lines on the globe that run north and south between the poles?
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
What is the latitude run?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
