Is the prime meridian east or west?

It is neither. The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. All other meridians are measured from this. East or west to 180 degrees.


How are the parallels and meridians numbered?

They are numbered in degrees and fractions of degrees. Parallels also known as latitudes are measured north and south of the equator up to a maximum of 90 degrees north or south. Meridians or longitudes are measured east and west from the prime meridian which passes through Greenwich in London, up to 180 degrees.


How are meridians numbered?

The Prime Meridian is numbered zero degrees. Meridians, or lines of longitude, are numbered with increasing numbers of degrees both east and west of the Prime Meridian. On the opposite side of the world from the Prime Meridian is 90 degrees, which is also the International Date Line.


Between which two parallels and which two meridians is the tip of Africa located?

It is located between 30 degrees east and 15 degrees east latitude/parallel and 30 degrees south and 45 degrees south longitude/meridians. You can use a map with medians and parallels on it to answer the question. There are pictures of those maps in Google maps if you want to know how to do it.


How many meridians can be drawn on a globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

A globe can have 36 meridians drawn at 10-degree intervals. This is because meridians are lines of longitude that extend from the North Pole to the South Pole, and they are measured from 0 degrees (the Prime Meridian) to 360 degrees. Dividing the 360 degrees by 10 degrees gives 36 meridians.


What is the line of longitude that marks 0 degrees of longitude?

Prime Meridians.


What is the names of the meridians?

The Prime or Greenwich meridian. 0 degrees longitude


Why is the zero degree longitude known as the Prime Meridian while others are simply meridians?

All other meridians are defined by their angular distance (from 0 to 180 degrees) from the arbitrary "prime" meridian. Half are measured east and the other half measured west, so that 180 degrees east is the same line as 180 degrees west (which is where the International Date Line is centered).


What letter are meridians east of the prime meridian labeled as?

Meridians east of the prime meridian are labeled with the letter E, which stands for east. The prime meridian itself is labeled as 0° longitude, and meridians to the east are assigned increasing positive longitude values.

Is Meridians bisect the globe and contain 360 degrees?
