Technically I can't answer that, because I have no way to know whether you're

asking about the Elmira in Ontario, California, Michigan, Prince Edward Island,

or Oregon. But I'll answer it anyway, for the Elmira in New York, just because

I grew up near there.

The center of the intersection of E Water St and Lake St, downtown on the north

bank of the river near the County Historical Society Museum, is located at 42.0884° north latitude

76.8010° west longitude. You can draw a line on the map at ANY latitude and ANY longitude. If you draw a

set of lines at those numbers, than that's where they'll cross. There's no official

set of 'lines' that everybody has to use.

But ... I didn't say that Elmira is "located at" that latitude and longitude. A set of

"coordinates" describes a single point, so it's not possible for the whole city to be

right there. There are an infinite number of OTHER points that are also in Elmira

and all have different coordinates.

Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?

-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)


All lines of latitude meet at what line?

Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.


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.


What are sets of numbers that show where lines of longitude and latitude meet are called?

Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.


Where do the 55th latitude and 55th longitude meet?

The 55th latitude and 55th longitude meet at the intersection point in the Pacific Ocean near the Alaska Peninsula, southwest of Alaska. This intersection represents the coordinates where the latitude and longitude lines cross each other.


This is formed when the latitude and longitude lines meet?

An intersection of latitude and longitude lines is called a coordinate, pinpointing a specific location on Earth's surface. The coordinates are typically measured in degrees to indicate the exact position, with latitude lines running horizontally and longitude lines vertically. This system enables precise mapping and navigation.


What is the point called when latitude and longitude lines touch?

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).


What is the location of aisa where the lines of latitude and longitude meet?

You'll have to be more specific. Every latitude crosses all longitudes, and every longitude crosses all latitudes.


How you use latitude and longitude to locate somewhere on a map?

Use the latitude and longitude lines on the map along with the coordinates. Find where the two coordinates meet and that will be the location you are looking for.


When lines of longitude and latitude cross they make a?

Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.


Do all lines of longitude meet at the equator?

Each line of latitude (the ones parallel to the Equator) crosses each line of longitude (the north - south lines).
