What else can I help you with?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
Explain why two lines of latitude never touch?
Lines of latitude are parallel to each other and never intersect because they are equidistant from the equator. As they run east-west around the globe, they maintain a consistent distance from each other, ensuring that they never touch or cross paths. This unique characteristic makes lines of latitude a useful reference point for determining locations on Earth's surface.
Meridians of what meet at the 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. Also, the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line meet at the poles.
How can you tell the difference between latitude lines and longitude lines?
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
Latitude lines run in which two directions?
North and South
Where if at all do lines of latitude meet?
Lines of latitude never meet.
All lines of latitude meet at what line?
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
Do latitude lines meet at the polls?
No.
Where do the latitude lines meet?
None of the latitudes meet together because they are parallel. The North Pole and South Pole do not have any latitudes or longitudes because all directions are south at the north pole and north at the south pole.
Where do the east lines of latitude meet the west lines?
they are both the same lines.
Which lines meet at the poles latitude or longitude?
longitude
Do parallel lines ever meet?
Parallel lines never ever meet with each other
Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
Where the lines of latitude meet?
At the North and South Poles of the Earth.
Do latitude lines ever touch longitude lines?
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
What are synonyms of latitude lines?
Flat, they run straight across, horizontal!Those words came to my mind!============================Only if you hold your map with north either up or down.Regardless of how you hold your map, lines of latitude are parallelto each other, and are often called 'parallels' of latitude.
Where doe the lines of latitude meet?
Only longitutude crosses latitudinal lines (horizontal circles)
