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 latitude and longitude lines separate the four hemispheres?
The equator at 0° latitude separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The prime meridian at 0° longitude separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
How can lines of longitude and latitude help find the absolute location?
Lines of longitude and latitude provide a coordinate system that allows you to pinpoint a specific location on Earth. Longitude lines run north-south and measure east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude lines run east-west and measure north or south of the Equator. By using the intersection of these lines, you can determine the absolute location of a place on the Earth's surface.
What are the lines on maps and globes that help us find places?
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.
What is meant by meridian in geography?
In geography, a meridian is a line of longitude that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and measures the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface. The Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, is the starting point from which all other meridians are measured.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Do latitude lines ever touch longitude lines?

What are lines of also longitude called?

What is the name for the lines of zero degree latitude and zero degree longitude?
