All of the latitudes on a New York State map are north because latitude lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator, which is at 0 degrees. New York is located in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning all its latitudinal coordinates are expressed as degrees north of the Equator. Therefore, any latitude associated with New York State will have a north designation.
On a map of average annual temperature why are the lower latitudes so much warmer than the higher latitudes?
Reading it off my map: The extent of Japanese territory appears to be bounded north/south by latitudes 30degrees10minutes and 45degrees45minutes north latitude.
The city of Chicago spans all latitudes between roughly 41.47° and 42° North. One is free to draw as few or as many lines in that range as he feels he needs on his map.
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
15 degrees north, 30 degrees north, 45 degrees north, 60 degrees north, 75 degrees north, 90 degrees north. ( The last person had put here 180 degrees north. If you look at many other info online, you will find it's actually 90 degrees north, not 180. Also, if you relate beginner geometry and the shape of angles....the equator, horizontal line, straight up to the north pole, is a 90 degree angle. hence the 90 degrees north parallel.)
from west to east and not from north to south

Parallels are lines that go up and down the map, latitudes are lines that go across the map from side to side.

The sphere of the Earth is projected (mapped) onto a cylinder. (So all latitudes are the same length.)
They're not ! If that's what you see on your map, then your map only shows part of the Earth ... it could be some parts of Africa, the Indian Ocean, Antarctica, or Australia. If you look at a globe or a map of the whole Earth, you'll see that half of all the latitudes are North and the other half are South. Also, half of all the longitudes are East and the other half are West.

No, Canada is situated in the northern hemisphere. It lies north of the equator, between latitudes 41° and 83° N.
East / west winds will cause sand to drift in a north/south ridge formation (the north/south lines on a map are longitudes, the east/west lines are latitudes).
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
