... Earth's north and south poles.
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.
Meridians are typically shown as straight lines radiating out from the center point of the polar projection map. They converge at the poles and represent lines of longitude, which help to indicate direction and location on the map. These meridians help users navigate and understand the spatial relationships on the polar projection.
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.
Between the equator and either pole, no matter what interval you choose foryour display of the meridians of longitude, they all gradually converge, untilthey all meet in a single point at the pole. The space between any two meridians,at any latitude, is(the space between them at the equator) x (cosine of the latitude). But their behavior on both sides of the equator is perfectly symmetrical.That is, as you move farther from the equator, the meridians converge inthe southern hemisphere exactly as they do in the northern one.
The ends of all meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles. Their centers are all on the equator.
All of the meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
All meridians of longitude converge (meet) 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.
