latitude and longtiude lines
All the lines of longitude meet or converge at the North Pole - they meet at the South Pole too!
Yes. Any two lines of constant latitude that you choose stay the same distance apart everywhere and never meet or cross. That's a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
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.
lines of latitude are parallels and lines of longitude are meridians. latitude lines are circles around the earth running east west (like equator) longitude lines run north - south and they meet at two spots, the north pole and the south pole. Meridians also determine the time at a location on the earth.
No. Lines of longitude or meridians are not parallel.

longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west
Yes. Any two lines of constant latitude that you choose stay the same distance apart everywhere and never meet or cross. That's a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
Lines of Longitude are vertical imaginary lines that run between the North Pole and the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero Longitude, and runs from the North Pole, through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, London, England, to the South Pole.

All meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north pole and south pole.
No. Lines of longitude or meridians are not parallel.
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.
No, parallel lines do not meet at a right angle. In theory, parallel lines never meet. In practice, parallel lines on earth could meet at the North Pole and/or the South Pole. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.
