What else can I help you with?
Lines of longitude are semicircles that extend from the north pole to the south pole?
No. Longitude is east and west of the equator. Lines of Latitude run from the north pole (prime meridian) to the south pole. Try thinking of latitude as the word "ladder" because ladders go up and down. Just a hint ;)
What are the Geographical poles on the earth?
The geographical poles are the North and South Poles. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
What are the two kinds of line in map eh?
They are Lines of Latitude (or Parallels of Latitude), which encircle the world horizontally and are parallel to the Equator (Zero Latitude). Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is Zero Longitude, and the line passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
How many degrees of latitude separate the North and South Poles?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. 180 degrees. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
How do you head south from the north pole on a given longitude?
north pole , ( the last person answer this , " yes or no " question is wrong.) it is north pole
Lines of longitude meet where?
Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.
Do longitude lines ever meet?
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
Where do the meridians meet?
The meridians meet at the poles, which are the points on Earth's surface where the lines of longitude converge. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude meet, and the same is true for the South Pole.
All the lines of longuitude do this at the north pole?
All the lines of longitude meet or converge at the North Pole - they meet at the South Pole too!
Which lines on the globe all meet?
All meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north pole and south pole.
What is the longitude in antarctica?
All the lines of longitude on earth meet on the Antarctic continent, at the South Pole.
Does all the lines of longitude meet at the south pole?
yes they do my friend (and at the north pole too)
Where do the line of longitude meet on a globe?
The lines of longitude, also known as meridians, meet at the Earth's poles. They converge at the North Pole and the South Pole, forming a continuous line of longitude.
What is the name for the lines that meet at the north and south poles?
The lines that meet at the North and South Poles are called meridians of longitude. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
Why does Antarctica cover every line of longitude?
The South Pole is the end point for all lines of longitude -- as is the North Pole -- so all lines meet at both poles. The South Pole is located on the Antarctic continent.
Latitude lines are parallel?
Yes. Any two lines of constant latitude that you choose stay the same distance apart everywhere and never meet or cross. That's a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
What is the point south on earth where the lines of longitude meet 90 degrees S latitude?
south pole
