Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude.
That is, they intersect at right angles.
And here's a fascinating trivia factoid that you can use to amuse and amaze
your friends:
-- No matter how many of these intersections you think there are,
there are more than that.
-- There are an infinite number of meridians of longitude, and every one
of them intersects an infinite number of parallels of latitude.

When lines of longitide and latitude intersect they form?
When lines of longitude and latitude intersect, they form a grid system that allows for the precise location of any point on Earth. This system helps in navigation and mapping, with latitude lines running east-west and longitude lines running north-south. The intersection of these lines creates coordinates that can pinpoint any location on the globe.
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
What 2 lines mark zero degrees on the globe?
The Equator marks zero degrees latitude, while the Prime Meridian (which runs through Greenwich, England) marks zero degrees longitude. These two lines intersect near the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean.
The lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary over the planet?

How many states do not use any latitude or longitude lines to determine the border?
All 50 states in the United States use some form of latitude and longitude lines to determine their borders.

What imaginary lines form the earth's grid system?
The imaginary lines that form the earths grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines go horizontally from east to west, where longitude lines go vertical from north to south.

What are the invisible lines that's form east west circles around the earth?
The lines of latitude and longitude.
What is the pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west and north-south called?
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
What is the lines that run north and south on a globe and intersect the poles?
If you pick a longitude and mark a dot at every point on Earth with that longitude, the dots will form a line between the north and south poles. The imaginary line is called the "meridian" of that longitude.
What are lines that intersect that do NOT form right angles?
Lines that intersect but do not form a right are just called intersecting lines. Perpendicular lines DO form a right angle when they intersect.
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).
When two lines intersect at a point they form and what?
When two lines intersect they form an axes.
