What else can I help you with?
Distance north or south on a map can be measured by what?
lines of latitude
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.
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.
What are principal lines of latitude?
whats the principal lines of latitude
What Are The Lines That Run East To West on a globe?
Lines of latitude, which include -the Arctic Circle;The Tropic of Cancer;The Equator;The Tropic of Capricorn;The Antarctic Circle.The one in the middle is the equator.Latitudinal lines run from east to west.
Why are the line of latitude labeled south?
tropic on cancer
Which are used measure distances north or south of the equator?
lines of latitude
Where are latitude lines labeled?
Every possible line that you can imagine that connects the north pole and the south pole is a "meridian" of longitude. It's over 12,000 miles long, and every point on it has the same longitude. Every possible line that you can imagine that goes straight east and west, all the way around the Earth, is a "parallel" of latitude. Its length depends on how close it is to one of the poles, and every point on it has the same latitude.
Why are all the lines of latitude labeled S and all the longitude lines labeled E on the map of Australia?
The labeling of latitude and longitude lines as S and E on a map of Australia is a common convention to indicate the direction in which the lines are measured. The S stands for southward measurement along the lines of latitude, while the E stands for eastward measurement along the lines of longitude. This convention is used to maintain consistency in map orientation and navigation.
What are the lines on the globe that run north and south between the poles?
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
What are lines of latitude and what do they measure?
The lines of latitude are the North and South lines on the globe. They measure the time changes there are in areas.
What label is put on lines of latitude that lie north of the eqautor?
Lines of latitude that lie north of the equator are labeled with positive values, and are often referred to as "North latitude" or designated with the symbol "N". They are used to measure positions north of the equator on Earth's surface.
What lines measure the distance north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.
What are lines that measure a locations distance north or south of the equator?
The "lines" are called latitude lines.lines of latitude
In which hemisphere would you find lines of latitude?
Lines of latitude are found in both the North and the South Hemispheres.
Does latitude run north to south or east to west?
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
What imaginary lines are numbered in degrees north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude, also known as parallels, are numbered in degrees north and south of the equator. The equator itself is 0 degrees latitude, while the North Pole is 90 degrees north latitude and the South Pole is 90 degrees south latitude.
