Every time you move east or west, even an inch or less, your longitude changes.
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
360° of longitude divided by 24 time zones gives 15° per time zone (average)
If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.

If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.
If you travel all the way around the earth without touching the north or south pole, then you travel through 360 degrees of longitude. They're labeled (zero -- 180) east and (zero -- 180) west.
0degrees n. Latitude, 0 degrees Longitude
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
You would travel south. The latitude is changing from 32 N to 30 N, which means you are moving towards the equator. The longitude remains the same, so the direction of travel is predominantly south.
Longitude lines connect the North and South Poles and measure distances east or west of Greenwich.
