How are the lines of longitude on the mercator projection different form the other two?
Lines of longitude on the Mercator projection are straight and evenly spaced, while on the other two projections (such as the Robinson or Winkel Tripel), they are curved and vary in spacing. This distortion in longitude is a trade-off for maintaining accurate shapes and angles on the Mercator projection.
At what point of earth do all lines of longitude meet?
All lines of longitude meet at the North and South 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.
What two lines of longitude divide the eastern and western hemisphere?
The prime meridian (0 degrees longitude) and the 180th meridian both divide the eastern and western hemispheres.
On a map what are the lines that run up and down?
Lines that run up and down on a map are called "longitude lines" or "meridians." These lines help indicate the east-west position or direction of a location on the Earth's surface.
What is the most important thing about longitude and latitude?
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
How many named lines of longitude are there?
Two of them.
Why are latitude and longitude line important?
The lines of latitude and longitude are important because we need them to describe exactly where a point is on Earth.
What are the most important lines of longitude and latitude?
The most important lines of longitude and latitude are the equator, the prime meridian, tropic of Cancer, tropic of Capricorn and the international dateline.
Where do the lines of longitude cross?
They cross at the two poles.
What are two uses of the lines of longitude?
equator and hemisphere
Why are lines of longitude and latitude important on a map or globe?
Latitude and Longitude are used to point to exactly where you want to be
Why are there longitude and latitude lines?
They are important for tracking and mapping points and places.
What are the Important lines of longitude?
The Prime Meridian The International Date Line
When moving north or south from the equator what does the lines of longitude do?
Any two lines of longitude you choose get closer togetheras they proceed from the equator to the poles.
Do lines of longitude intersect at only two points?
Yes.
Geographic grids consist of what two lines?
Latitude and longitude
