What are the north-south and east-west lines on a map that cross each other to form a rectangular pattern called?
North and South- Latitude or parallels East and West- Longitude or meridians
Witch way does the earth spin?
Well, the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So, if the Sun is not actually moving, then the Earth must be rotating (spinning) on its axis from west to east (counterclockwise when viewed from the north pole).
The earth rotates from?
east to west because the sun comes up in the east and sets in the west.

East It moves from East to west across the sky
What are parallels that circle earth from east to west?
Latitude

Imaginary lines which circle the earth from east to west are lines of which are also called?
They are called Lines of Latitude or parallels.
What are the imaginary lnes that run east to west around earth called?
The imaginary lines that run around the earth in an east-west direction are lines of latitude or parallels.
What do you call the parallel lines that circle the globe?
Lines of latitude encircle the Earth in an east-to-west direction, and are used in geography. They are called parallels and are parallel to each other and to the equator.
In which directions does a parrallel or line of latitude run?
Lines of latitude, or parallels, run horizontally around the Earth (east-to-west or west-to-east).
What is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole and it is noted by what?
Latitude, parallels
Parallels run in which direction?
East and West
What are the invisible lines the form east-west circles around earth called?
You're thinking of 'parallels of constant latitude'.
Does every parallel begin and ends at the poles?
Parallels (lines of latitude) do not start nor end at the poles; they circle the earth east-to-west like the equator. All of the meridians (lines of longitude) start and stop at the poles.
What is one of many lines on the global grid that circle the earth north or south of the equator used to measure degrees of latitude?
Degrees of latitude run east and west around the globe. They are also called parallels of latitude.
