All the lines of longuitude do this at the north pole?

All the lines of longitude meet or converge at the North Pole - they meet at the South Pole too!


What are imaginary lines that go through the north pole and south pole called?

longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west


Latitude lines are parallel?

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.


Is an imaginary line that runs through both poles in the earth?

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.


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.


What are meridians and parrells?

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.


Which lines on the globe all meet?

All meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north pole and south pole.


Are theimaginary lines that run from the north pole to the south pole around the world parallel?

No. Lines of longitude or meridians are not parallel.


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.


Do parallel lines meet at a right angle?

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.


Do longitude lines ever meet?

All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.


What is the name of the two sets of imaginary lines on the globe?

-- 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.
