There is no term for where "latitude and longitude meet" since they are not absolutely defined points or lines; instead, they are coordinates which must be used in tandem to define a point and can vary over any part of the earth's surface (or any object which is given a system of latitude and longitude).

Why are lines of latitude and longitude useful to a geographer?

Lines of latitude and longitude allow a specific point to be located any where on the world.


Why are lines of longitude and latitude important on a map or globe?

What are the east west lines called on maps and globes?

They represent degrees of latitude.


What is the point called at which lines of latitude and longitude cross?

The absolute location. There was never much need to find a name for such a place, since every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude, and every meridian crosses every parallel.


Lines of the globe?

The lines on a globe refer to latitude and longitude lines that help locate points on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure a point's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure a point's distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. These lines intersect at specific points to create a grid system used for navigation and mapping.


Lines running parallel to the equator are called?

You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.


Why are latitude and longitude line important?

The lines of latitude and longitude are important because we need them to describe exactly where a point is on Earth.


Where lines of latitude and longitude intersect is called?

Oh, dude, that's an easy one. When lines of latitude and longitude intersect, it's called a coordinate or a point. So, like, when you're looking for a specific location on a map, you use those coordinates to pinpoint where you need to go. It's like playing a giant game of Battleship, but with real places.


Where do longitude and latitude lines meet?

Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. No two points have the same set of two numbers.


Are Lines of longitude and latitude are used for locating certain points on the globe?

Yes, lines of latitude and longitude are used to determine specific locations on the Earth's surface. Lines of latitude run east-west and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator. Lines of longitude run north-south and measure how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.


Does an octopus live on latitude or longitude lines?

Every point on earth has both a latitude coordinate and a longitude coordinate. That's how you tell people where the point is, even if they're not there.


How are the lines of latitude and longitude used to locate points on Earth's surface?

The lines of latitude provide vertical (north-south) coordinates on a map or globe. Lines of longitude provide horizontal (east-west) coordinates. The defined geographical point is where the latitude line intersects the longitude line.
