Do the lines of longitude on a map go across or up and down?
Longitude lines go up and down on a map.
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.
How do maps show distance and direction?
a map can show direction by....compass rose (north, south, east, west)lines of longitude (lines going up and down) and lattitude (the lines going sideways- the middle longitude line is called the prime meridean. the middle lattitude line is called the equator.3. the scale... ( the length of the line is usually an inch that represents 100-500 miles) the scale is located towards the bottom on the map.4. a map can also show direction by a "map key" if it has one
What is an upside down world map?
An upside down world map is a map that displays the Earth's continents and countries with the southern hemisphere at the top and the northern hemisphere at the bottom. It challenges the traditional north-oriented view and provides a different perspective on global geography.
What is the difference between map grid and global grid?
A global grid uses a system of lines of latitude and longitude which allows you to locate any place on Earth with a simple number code and a map grid uses a a system of imaginary to divide up space on a map and you could locate a place that is either in or local to what place the map is representing.
On a map what are the lines that run up and down called?

What are lines of lstitude?
Lines of latitude are used on a map or globe. They are the lines that run horizontally or left to right, while longitude lines run vertically or up and down.
What are the Lines that run up and down and from side to side on a map?
The lines that run up and down on a map are called longitude lines, while the lines that run from side to side are called latitude lines. Longitude lines measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator. Together, these lines form a grid system that helps in identifying specific locations on the Earth's surface.
What do lines of latitude and longitude mean?
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
Do the lines of longitude on a map go across or up and down?

What are the parallels and latitudes on maps?

What are meridians lines of?
the lines that go up and down, south and north on a map, like the prime meridian.
What kind of lines are meridians?

What do you call the lines on a map that run east to west?
lattitude. think of it as a ladder goin up and the other ones goin down are longitude and the one in the middle is the prime meridian
