When lines of longitude and latitude cross, they form a grid system used to pinpoint specific locations on Earth's surface. The lines of longitude are vertical and measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian, while lines of latitude are horizontal and measure distances north and south of the Equator. The point where these lines intersect is known as a coordinate or geographic coordinate.

What do we call the place where latitude and longitude lines cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
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).
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
When lines of longitude and latitude cross they make a?
