What lines drawn on maps help locate places?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
Do the longitude lines on a globe measure the distance north and south or east and west?
They measure east and west
Do the lines of longitude on a globe measure the distance north and south or east and west?
east west
Imaginary line around which the earth rotates?
It is called the Equator and the closer you get to it the hotter the countries start becoming.
There are how many degrees between the lines of latitude?
There is no official set of "lines". Some globes and maps have more lines, spaced closer together. Some globes and maps have fewer lines, spaced farther apart. Some globes and maps have no lines at all. We have no way of knowing how many latitudes are marked on the globe or map that you're looking at today, and the next one you see may be marked at a different interval.
What are the imaginary lines that measure distance north to south of the equator?
parallel lines, or lines of latitude.
What are imaginary lines that run east to west and measure distance north and south of the equator called?
the answer is longitude and latitude lines
Why do mapmakers use imaginary lines on maps and globes?
These lines are not actually on the planet, but are imaginary lines used to help us find our way around the curved surface of Earth
Why is it necessary to have latitudes and longitudes on maps or globes?
these are the imaginary lines to check the gmt and location of a place
Are globes and maps marked with imaginary lines for geographers to use colocate on earths surface?
Yes
Why was a need fell to draw imaginary lines on the globe?
The imaginary lines of longitude and latitude drawn on maps and globes of the Earth, is to aid navigation and accurately locating spots on the Earth's surface.
Imaginary lines used to measure distance north and south of the Equator are lines of?
longitude and latitude we use these as coordinates to find certain places on the globe
What are the imaginary lines on a globe that run east to west and measure the distance north to south?
Those would be the 'parallels' of constant latitude.
Imaginary lines on the earth's surface running north to south and used to measure distance east to west?
Meridians of constant longitude.
Imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator are lines of?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
Where can you see latitude and longitude?
You can see latitude and longitude on maps and globes, since they are imaginary lines that cannot be seen on the surface of Earth.
Imaginary lines used to measer distance north and sounth of the equator are lines of what?
it is longitude
