What is the imaginary line that runs east to west?
The imaginary line is called the Prime Meridian.
How can you use latitude and longitude to find the exact location of a place?
the latitude and the longitude give you the coordinates of a place to look for a place's location on a map, just get the latitude and longitude, and their intersecting point is where the place is.
Do you of latitude go from north to south or from east to west?
north or south. longitude is east or west.
Does lines of latitude go around the earth in a eastern direction?
Every point on a 'line' of latitude has the same latitude, no matter what its east or west longitude may be. So you would expect any 'line' of latitude to circle the Earth at a constant distance from the equator and the poles. The 'line' itself doesn't necessarily proceed in either direction, but if you travel along a 'line' of latitude and stay on it at every step you take, then you must be traveling toward either the east or the west.
How does the latitude lines appear on a polar projection?
A polar projection is a map viewing either the North Pole or the South Pole from above. Each latitude line forms a circle that is centered at the pole. The latitude lines closest to the pole are the smallest, and the ones farther away are the largest.
How are latitude and longitude lines read?
Latitude lines go west and east of the prime meridian and longitude lines run north and south. hope that helps!
Which line on the map divides east from west?
The Prime Meridian at 0 degrees longitude is the line on the map that divides east from west. Locations to the east of the Prime Meridian are considered in the Eastern Hemisphere, while locations to the west are in the Western Hemisphere.

What direction do lines of longitude go?
on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.
Parts of the globe?
There are two different types of lines: lines of latitude and lines of longitude (also called meridians). The lines of latitude go around the globe horizontally. The center line is the Equator. Lines of longitude go around the globe vertically. The center one is called the Prime Meridian. These different lines together form a grid on a globe that's used to find locations of Earth's surface. The Equator and the Prime Meridian also divide the Earth into Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres.
Do you of latitude go from north to south or from east to west?
north or south. longitude is east or west.
Which one of the following are the direction of a meridian of longitude which converges on the North Pole?
All 'Meridians' converge at the Poles. No lines of Longitude do (they go 'around' the globe).
What is the most important thing about longitude and latitude?
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
Lines of longitude are semicircles that extend from the north pole to the south pole?
No. Longitude is east and west of the equator. Lines of Latitude run from the north pole (prime meridian) to the south pole. Try thinking of latitude as the word "ladder" because ladders go up and down. Just a hint ;)
What are the lines on the globe that look like a checkerboard called?
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
What do lines of latitude and longitude mean?
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
