What else can I help you with?
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
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.
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Lines of latitude are perpendicular to it?
Lines of Longitude
Are latitude lines parallel or perpendicular?
Parallel. Latitude and longitude are perpendicular.
What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
Lines of latitude and line of longitude are perpendicular?
So as to create a particular location on the grid where they intersect.
How can you tell the difference between latitude lines and longitude lines?
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
I need a real life example of Parallel lines with a perpendicular transversal?
Railway lines with sleepers? Lines of latitude crossed by a line of longitude?
What are lines of latitutde?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
Give some real examples for perpendicular lines?
Longitude and latitude lines are perpendicular to each other. Most road intersections in major cities are set up in a grid, making the cross streets perpendicular.
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.
