What else can I help you with?
Is latitude and longitude written in symbols?
No, its numbers that show where somewhere is... For example, the center of London is:Latitude = 51.5005, Longitude = -0.1248
Why is it important to have understanding of latitude and longitude?
it can show you some state borders in the west.
Lines on a map that show distances north and south of the equator?
lines of latitude
Why does a map show that equal amounts of latitude and longitude is not a perfect square?
Example? The Earth is not flat, so maps can rather accurately show distance or shape. The simple fact that the Earth is round means perfect squares for latitude and longitude would in essence mean the distortion of shape, hence why on some maps you see the stretching out of the poles (as this is where the latitude lines converge). In essence the shape of the Earth means latitude and longitude cannot be perfect squares. Hope this is what you meant by your question.
What map has parallel lines of latitude and longitude?
A map with parallel lines of latitude and longitude is known as a Mercator projection map. This type of map is often used for navigation purposes due to its representation of straight lines of latitude and longitude, making it easier to measure distances and plot courses. However, the Mercator projection distorts the size of landmasses, especially near the poles.
Cartographers use symbols on maps to show?
latitude and longitude
Do lines of longitude or lines of latitude show the distance east and west of the prim meridian?
longitude
What does a map profile show?
They show information on a mapby showing lines of latitude and longitude
What is a pair of numbers that show exact location latitude and longitude?
coordinates

What are sets of numbers that show where lines of longitude and latitude meet are called?
Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.

What is used to show the absolute location of any place on earth?
By using latitude and longitude

Where do find latitude on a map?
Not all maps show latitude and longitude. On those that do some have horizontal lines indicating where lines of latitude lie, and on the right and left margins of the map these lines will have the latitude they represent marked. Then on some maps the lines are missing but the notations in the margin show where the lined of latitude should be.
