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.
Is there another name for latitude and longitude?
The other name for Longitude is Meridians. same way as the prime meridian The other name for Latitude is Parallels. same way as the equador
What is the difference between latitude and parallels longitude and meridians?
Latitude refers to the angular distance of a location north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. Longitude refers to the angular distance of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles.
What lines run north and south on a map?
Meridians of longitude run north and south. Parallels of latitude run east and west.

On a Mercator projection, meridians appear as straight, parallel lines running from top to bottom of the map, spaced evenly apart. This is because the Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection that preserves straight lines of constant bearing, resulting in meridians being stretched vertically towards the poles.

Parallels are used to measure longitude or latitude?
latitude longitudes are known as meridians
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
Do the meridians cross in Port fairy?
Yes, the meridians do cross in Port Fairy, a coastal town in Victoria, Australia. Meridians are imaginary lines that run vertically around the Earth, and Port Fairy is located at a specific longitude, which means it lies along one of these lines. While meridians themselves don't "cross" in the traditional sense, they do intersect with lines of latitude, creating a grid system for geographic locations.
What is another name lines of latitude and longitude?
