The two broken lines on the equator are known as the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The Tropic of Cancer is located at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude, while the Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude. These lines mark the furthest points north and south where the sun can be directly overhead at noon during the solstices.
What else can I help you with?
When moving north or south from the equator what does the lines of longitude do?
Any two lines of longitude you choose get closer togetheras they proceed from the equator to the poles.
What is One of two lines parallel to the equator?
"Zero latitude" is the line closest to the equator, because it's the definition of the equator itself. Once you leave the equator, there's no such thing as the "closest line". Any parallel of latitude you draw, no matter how close it is to the equator, I can always draw one that's closer. There's no 'official' set of lines. You can draw as few or as many lines as you want, wherever you want them.
What two things do lines of longitude and landitude run?
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
Which two volcanoes named on the map are south of the equator?
Two volcanoes which are on the map south of the equator are the Chimborazo volcano and the Cayambe volcano.
What is imaginary lines that run parallel to the Equator?
there are two names i can think of: lines of latitude and also parallels
What are two uses of the lines of longitude?
equator and hemisphere

equator

What two important imaginary lines divide the hemispheres?

What is at the intersection of the equator and the tropic of cancer?
There is no intersection. These two imaginary lines are parallel. Every point on the Tropic of Cancer is 23.5 degrees from the equator, no more and no less. The lines don't meet.
What are further apart at the equator than at the poles?
Lines of longitude are further apart at the equator than at the poles. This is because the Earth's circumference is greatest at the equator, causing the lines of longitude to be spaced farther apart to cover the same distance around the Earth.
