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.
No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.
Some maps are squashed and stretched in such a way that meridians of longitude appear to be parallel (Mercator projection, for example). But the truth is that on the globe, the meridians all converge at the poles, and so they're not parallel.
All of the meridians of longitude converge (come together) at the north and south poles.
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
All meridians of longitude meet and end at the north and south poles. Although they do converge, they can't be said to 'intersect', because they all stop there and don't go any further.
All meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north and south poles.
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
The ends of all meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles. Their centers are all on the equator.
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
The Meridians are lined in a pattern on the Mercator. They are all parallel to each other and converge at the poles when viewed on a globe.
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
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.

The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. Also, the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line meet at the poles.
