On maps, lines of latitude divide the Earth into "rings" of mainly 18 parts with each "ring" having 10 degrees latitude. Lines of longitude then cut across the lines of latitude and thus forming grids. There are mainly 36 lines of longitude spaced at 10 degrees longitude apart. In the end, there are 648 grids on a map if split up in this way.

The two sets of lines the geographic grids consist of?

Longitude and latitude.


How do longitude and latitude divide the earth into two?

Longitude lines run north-south and divide the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, while latitude lines run east-west and divide the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The intersection of latitude and longitude lines creates a grid system that helps identify specific locations on Earth.


The intersecting lines drawn on maps and globes are?

called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure north-south positions, while longitude lines run vertically and measure east-west positions. Together, they help establish specific locations on Earth's surface.


What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?

Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).


What is formed by the crisscrossing patterns of the lines of longitude and latitude?

The crisscrossing patterns of the lines of longitude and latitude form a grid system that helps identify specific locations on Earth's surface. This grid allows for accurate navigation, mapping, and determining precise coordinates of any point on the planet.
