Every meridian of longitude has nominally the same length, because
they all connect the same two points ... the north and south poles.

Which map is an equal area projection where latitudes are represented by parallel lines but longitudes are represented by ellipses?
Atlas maps.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
How Distinguish between latitudes and longitudes?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator. Lines of longitude run vertically - passing through both poles.
What is the network of latitudes and longitudes?
The network of latitudes and longitudes refers to a system of geographical coordinates that are used to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface. Latitudes are horizontal lines that measure the distance north or south of the equator, whereas longitudes are vertical lines that measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. Together, these coordinates provide a precise way to identify any place on the planet.
Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator?
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
Which map is an equal area projection where latitudes are represented by parallel lines but longitudes are represented by ellipses?
Atlas maps.
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
What are the imaginary lines on the maps?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
Lines that run from north to south are called?
longitudes or meridians
What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude
What are 3 qualities of the lines of longitude?
-- they are semi-circles -- they are not parallel -- they join the north and south poles -- they are perpendicular to the equator -- the higher the latitude, the closer together any two longitudes are -- at the poles, all longitudes are the same point -- for every longitude west, there is an equal longitude east
Longitude lines meet?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.
What is the name for all the vertical and horizontal lines found on a globe?
They are lines of longitude and latitude, often just longitudes and latitudes.
What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
What is the line between the two poles called?
The lines joining the two poles are longitudes.
What are the longitudes lines of Nevada?
114 degrees 2' W to 120 degrees W
