What lines are drawn on maps from the south north pokes to measure distance east west?
The lines drawn on maps from south to north to measure distance east and west are called meridians. Each meridian is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, and they are used in conjunction with lines of latitude, or parallels, which run east to west. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, serves as the starting point for measuring degrees of longitude east and west. Together, these lines create a grid system that helps in pinpointing locations on the Earth's surface.
What are lines of longitude and which ways do they run?
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
Does latitude run north to south or east to west?
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
Do scientists use lines of latitude to describe the distance north or south of the equator?
Yes, and not only scientists. Cartographers and anyone who needs to know about locating things on the globe, or who needs to know location for navigation, communications systems, etc uses latitude and longitude.
How many lines of latitude are there when drawn at interval of 1 degree each?
If drawn on a globe at intervals of one degree, there would be 178 lines and two points.

What is distance of North South Distance of India?
The straight-line distance is 1741.4 miles. This is the true straight line distance which accounts for the curvature of the earth, NOT the straight line drawn on a map.
What lines drawn on maps help locate places?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
What is a theme of geography that starts with the letter L?
Latitude is imaginary lines that measures distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is imaginary lines that measures distance east and west of a line drawn between the North and South Poles and passing through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England.
What are intersecting lines drawn on a globe?
Intersecting lines drawn on a globe are typically latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run east-west and measure degrees north or south of the equator. Longitude lines run north-south and measure degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. Their intersections pinpoint specific locations on Earth and are used for navigation and mapping.
What are lines of longitude and which ways do they run?
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
What line is drawn through the earth from the north to the south pole?
The Axis
Meridians are lines of?
Meridians are lines of longitude that are drawn from the North to South poles.
Does latitude run north to south or east to west?
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
Why is south bridge called South bridge?
because it is typically drawn below (south of on maps) the north bridge when drawing schematics.
What is an imaginary line drawn throughout the earth from the north to south pole?
The prime meridian
Do scientists use lines of latitude to describe the distance north or south of the equator?
Yes, and not only scientists. Cartographers and anyone who needs to know about locating things on the globe, or who needs to know location for navigation, communications systems, etc uses latitude and longitude.
