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.
What are the two uses of maps?
Maps are used for navigation, providing directions and showing locations of places. They are also used for visualizing data and information in a spatial context, such as demographics, land use, and geological features.
How many miles sparates each of the earth's parallel line?
Earth's parallel lines are known as latitude lines, which are evenly spaced at intervals of about 69 miles apart. This means that each degree of latitude represents a distance of approximately 69 miles.
What are the different reference lines used in locating places on earth?
The two main reference lines used in locating places on Earth are the Equator, which divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Additionally, lines of latitude (parallels) and longitude (meridians) help pinpoint specific locations on the Earth's surface.
What line of latitude divides the two hemisphere?
The Equator, at 0 degrees latitude, divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
What are the only two directions lines of latitude can have?
east and west
What are two names for the lines that run east to west on a globe?
They are the lines of latitude, and they are also called parallels.
What is imaginary lines that run parallel to the Equator?
there are two names i can think of: lines of latitude and also parallels
What are two names for the lines name for the lines that run east to west?
East to west- Latitude Lines North to south- Longitude Lines
What direction can one travel from the south pole?
Technically, North. Basic compass directions can be separated into two categories: those that run the lines of latitude, East and West; and those that run the lines of longitude, North and South. The lines of longitude converge to single points at the poles, and are all of equal length. The lines of latitude, however, run parallel to each other, and get shorter as they approach the poles. The poles are the extreme north and south ends of the planet. Take, for example, the south pole. if you walk around it in a circle, you would be walking exactly along a line of latitude. Needless to say, the compass directions are not as helpful at those extremes.
What two things do lines of longitude and landitude run?
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
What is loditude?
Latitude and Longitude. Both are imaginary lines that circle the earth and are used to measure distance and position. Lines of Latitude run east and west and lines of longitude run north and south. By intersecting two lines you can give an accurate position anywhere on the earth.
What line run parallel to the equator?
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below
What are the lines that run from 20 north latitude to 20 south latitude?
All 'lines' between these two parallels are called longitude and each has a number which expresses the number of degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Where if at all do lines of latitude meet?
Lines of latitude never meet.
How do longitude and latitude divide the earth into two?
Longitude lines run north-south and divide the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, while latitude lines run east-west and divide the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The intersection of latitude and longitude lines creates a grid system that helps identify specific locations on Earth.
