What else can I help you with?
As you move north or south from the equator the lines of longitude become what to one another?
closer
Latitude lines are parallel?
Yes. Any two lines of constant latitude that you choose stay the same distance apart everywhere and never meet or cross. That's a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
Lines of longitude meet where?
Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.
Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
All the lines of longuitude do this at the north pole?
All the lines of longitude meet or converge at the North Pole - they meet at the South Pole too!
Do all lines of longitude meet at the equator?
Each line of latitude (the ones parallel to the Equator) crosses each line of longitude (the north - south lines).

Do the longitude lines meet at the north and south pole?
By definition, a line of longitude is an imaginary great circle on the surface of the earth passing through the north and south poles at right angles to the equator such that "all points on the same meridian have the same longitude".Therefore, all lines of longitude meet at a point at each of the poles.
At what point of earth do all lines of longitude meet?
All lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.

Where do the meridians meet?
The meridians meet at the poles, which are the points on Earth's surface where the lines of longitude converge. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude meet, and the same is true for the South Pole.

All the lines of longitude meet or converge at the North Pole - they meet at the South Pole too!
As you move north to south from the equator lines of longitude become what to one another?
The meridians of longitude become closer together. Because eventually, at the poles, they all have to meet at the same points.
What are further apart at the equator than at the poles?
Lines of longitude are further apart at the equator than at the poles. This is because the Earth's circumference is greatest at the equator, causing the lines of longitude to be spaced farther apart to cover the same distance around the Earth.
Do all meridians converge at the poles?
By definition, a line of longitude is an imaginary great circle on the surface of the earth passing through the north and south poles at right angles to the equator such that "all points on the same meridian have the same longitude".Therefore, all lines of longitude meet at a point at each of the poles.
