What lines of longitude go through north and south of the prime meridian in measure distances?
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude (0°). It goes through every north or south measurementbetween the north pole and the south pole, and no other lines of longitude cross it.
What line of longitude does the Mississippi river cross?
The Mississippi River meanders roughly south from its headwaters in Lake Itasca, Minnesota, at longitude 95 degrees west, to its mouth on the Gulf of Mexico at longitude 89 degrees west. . For the greater part of its length, it is within a hundred miles of longitude 90 degrees west.

The Arctic Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean, all cross the meridian of 60 degrees East longitude. It makes no difference where you are.
Is Mali in the Prime Meridian?

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 lines of longitude go through north and south of the prime meridian in measure distances?

What area do the 0 degree line of latitude and 0 degree line of longitude cross?
The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the prime meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significane but it is in the Atlantic Ocean.
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).
Explain how time changes as you move east from the Prime Meridian?
As you move east from the Prime Meridian, time increases by one hour for every 15 degrees of longitude you cross. This is because Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so each hour represents 15 degrees of longitude.
Is the equator parallel or a meradian?
Lines of equal Latitude run parallel (ie never cross) East-West (such as the Equator) Lines of equal Longitude (Meridian) run North-South and cross at the Poles.
What is an example sentence using the word prime meridian?
