What else can I help you with?
What is the lines that run north and south on a globe and intersect the poles?
If you pick a longitude and mark a dot at every point on Earth with that longitude, the dots will form a line between the north and south poles. The imaginary line is called the "meridian" of that longitude.
The lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary over the planet?
coordinate grid
Why does a map show that equal amounts of latitude and longitude is not a perfect square?
Example? The Earth is not flat, so maps can rather accurately show distance or shape. The simple fact that the Earth is round means perfect squares for latitude and longitude would in essence mean the distortion of shape, hence why on some maps you see the stretching out of the poles (as this is where the latitude lines converge). In essence the shape of the Earth means latitude and longitude cannot be perfect squares. Hope this is what you meant by your question.
When lines of longitide and latitude intersect they form?
When lines of longitude and latitude intersect, they form a grid system that allows for the precise location of any point on Earth. This system helps in navigation and mapping, with latitude lines running east-west and longitude lines running north-south. The intersection of these lines creates coordinates that can pinpoint any location on the globe.
How many states do not use any latitude or longitude lines to determine the border?
All 50 states in the United States use some form of latitude and longitude lines to determine their borders.
What geometric shape are lines of longitude?
Great circles.
What imaginary lines form the earth's grid system?
The imaginary lines that form the earths grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines go horizontally from east to west, where longitude lines go vertical from north to south.
What is the lines that run north and south on a globe and intersect the poles?
If you pick a longitude and mark a dot at every point on Earth with that longitude, the dots will form a line between the north and south poles. The imaginary line is called the "meridian" of that longitude.
Why are meridians also called longitude?
longitude are lines that go from north poles to south poles just like longitude lines meridians are vertical and are form north to south u get it rite?
What are the invisible lines that's form east west circles around the earth?
The lines of latitude and longitude.
The lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary over the planet?
coordinate grid
What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude

What is the pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west and north-south called?
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
Lines of longitude are not parallel why?
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
What are the lines on a map that form a grid system called?
The lines on a map that form a grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distance north and south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distance east and west of the Prime Meridian.
What lines on a map form a grid that enables you to locate any point on the earth?
The lines on a map that form a location-finding grid for any point on the earth are known as the geographic coordinates of latitude and longitude. Lines that arc around the globe along an east/west axis are the latitude lines, while the north/south arcing lines are longitude lines.
