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.
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
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
What are the lines on maps and globes that help us find places?
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on 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 map that measure distance from the equator?
The imaginary lines on a map that measure distance from the equator are called latitude lines, or parallels. They run horizontally around the Earth and are expressed in degrees, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude. As you move toward the poles, the latitude increases, reaching 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. These lines help in determining locations and understanding climate zones.
What are the imaginary parallel lines that run east-west?
The imaginary parallel lines that run east-west are called lines of latitude. These lines measure the distance north or south of the equator and are used to establish the location of a place on the Earth's surface.
Imaginary lines on the earth's surface running north to south and used to measure distance east to west?
Meridians of constant longitude.
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.
