Lines of latitude and longitude are used to define specific geographic locations on Earth. Latitude lines run horizontally, measuring the distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude lines run vertically, measuring the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Together, they create a grid system that allows for precise pinpointing of any location on the globe. This system is essential for navigation, mapping, and understanding geographic coordinates.
What else can I help you with?
What projection shows all lines of latitude and longitude as straight lines?
The Mercator projection does that.
Which type of map projection shows all latitude and longitude lines as parell?
The cylindrical map projection, such as the Mercator projection, shows all latitude and longitude lines as parallel. However, this projection distorts the size of land masses the further they are from the equator.
How would you describe lines of latitude and longitude?
Lines of latitude run from east to west and lines of longitude run north to south, they help give the position on earths surface.
Where can you find a map of Ontario that shows the latitude and longitude lines on it?
Most good road atlases and fold-up road maps show latitude and longitude marks along the borders of each map, although the lines aren't drawn across the map. Also, every package of road-atlas computer software has complete lat/long data, for every place it displays.
What does latitude tell us?
Latitude and Longitude determine one's location on Earth. Latitude runs East to West in parallel lines, but determines one's location South or North. Longitude does not run in parallel lines, but meets at the North and South poles, and runs North to South, but it shows the location East or West.
What projection shows all lines of latitude and longitude as straight lines?
The Mercator projection does that.
What is the difference between a latitude-longitude map and a military grid reference system map?
Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.
How could we find the absolute location of China's capitoll?
Use a map that shows longitude and latitude.
Which type of map projection shows all latitude and longitude lines as parell?
The cylindrical map projection, such as the Mercator projection, shows all latitude and longitude lines as parallel. However, this projection distorts the size of land masses the further they are from the equator.
What features of a map will help you find a absolute locations?
The features on a map help you find absolute location by finding the absolute lOcation
How would you describe lines of latitude and longitude?
Lines of latitude run from east to west and lines of longitude run north to south, they help give the position on earths surface.
Is a map relative or absolute location?
absolute if it shows latitude and longitude because it show the exact place in degrees, relative if it shows land marks only....

What is used to locate places on earth's surface?
A Map, in one one of these different types of projections: Mercator, Gnomonic, and Polyconic. Mercator - Shows the whole world except for the poles. Gnomonic - A circle projection showing, most often, the poles but sometimes other small places of the earth. Polyconic - Made as if a cone of paper had been wrapped around the earth, often used for places in the middle latitudes, such as the United States.
How you can find a latitude and longitude of a country?
it is easy if you can find a globe or a map of that country that numbers & shows the parallels of latitude as horizontal lines & the meridians of longitude as vertical lines most tho not all maps & globes do this so keep looking for one that does alternatively encyclopedia articles about countries usually give this information too but you may also need to read an article about how to understand & read latitude & longitude if these methods dont immediately work for you
What is the meaning of latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude lines are imaginary grid lines that assign coordinates on the Earth's surface.Latitude indicates the position north or south of the equator, as an angle to the equatorial plane. This can be from 0° (equator) to 90° north or south (the poles). Latitude lines circle the Earth.Longitude is the division of the spherical Earth into 360 equal degree segments, as lines connecting the poles. The 0° point is arbitrarily assigned near Greenwich, England, and all other locations in degrees east or west, meeting at 180° (E or W), generally near the International Date Line in the western Pacific Ocean.At the equator, they form a roughly square grid, with degrees of latitude and longitude nearly equal in length. Moving toward the poles, longitude shows a decrease in miles per "horizontal" degree.
