A map that is drawn parallel to latitudes and longitudes is called a "Mercator projection." This type of map is designed to represent the Earth's surface as a flat, rectangular shape, with accurate shapes and directions but distorted sizes at the poles. It is commonly used for navigation purposes.

What is hachures?
Hachures are short, parallel lines used in cartography to indicate the steepness of slopes on a map. The lines are typically drawn perpendicular to contour lines, with the spacing or thickness of the lines used to represent the gradient of the slope. Hachures give a visual representation of the terrain in a two-dimensional map.
Where can the Great Dividing Range be located on a map?
The Great Dividing Range can be located on a map in eastern Australia, running parallel to the country's east coast.
Is joning lines in a weather map that have the same temperature called isobars?
An isotherm is a type of contour line or surface on a map that connects points of equal temperature.An isobar refers to a line drawn through all points of equal atmospheric pressure along a given reference surface.
What is a parallel alignment of minerals that have been subjected to stress called?
A parallel alignment of minerals that have been subjected to stress is called foliation. It creates distinctive layering or banding in rocks, such as in metamorphic rocks like schist or gneiss, where the minerals align parallel to the direction of stress.
What are A series of light brown lines drawn at intervals of 50 feet to designate their respective heights above sea level called?
Contour lines are a series of light brown lines drawn at intervals of 50 feet to designate their respective heights above sea level. They help to show the elevation and shape of the land on a topographic map.
Which lines are parallel to each other on map?
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
Why was the Vietnam separation called 17th parallel?
It followed the 17th parallel of latitude on the map.
How are the meridians on the map different from the meridians on a globe?
Meridians on a globe get closer and eventually merge at the North and South Poles. On a map (a flat plane) the meridians are drawn parallel and there is distortion at the poles, most noticeable on a world map.
What is a map of a room drawn to scale?
An architectural drawing is a map of a room drawn to scale.
What is the name of the shape formed when two lines are drawn away from a single point?
That is called an angle.
Lines drawn parallel to the axes of the graph?
Lines drawn parallel to the axes have only one letter.y=5 is horizontal, parallel to the x-axisx=5 is vertical , parallel to the y-axis.
Why was the map drawn?
the map was drawn ,to help people find things and also to eehelp you know where you where going
What is a map with parallel meridians called?
A map with parallel meridians is called a conic projection map. This type of projection is often used for mapping smaller regions or countries, as it maintains accurate shapes and angles near the standard lines of latitude.
What Lines that neither intersect nor are parallel?
If lines neither intersect nor are parallel, then they must be drawn in 3D space, or a higher dimension.(These lines are called skew lines)
What is the direction marker on a map called?
The direction marker on a map called a compass rose. It was so named because the directional lines drawn from the marker were said to resemble a rose.
What is a map projection where the lines of longitude are parallel called?
That's true of the Mercator projection, among others.
What is a parallel on a map?
a latitude
