Most of South America lies between approximately 35 degrees west and 81 degrees west longitude. This range encompasses a vast majority of the continent, from the eastern coast in Brazil to the western coast in countries like Chile and Peru. The longitude range also includes a diverse array of climates and ecosystems across the continent.
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.
Meridians
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
Imaginary lines that run north to south are known as lines of longitude. Longitude lines are the imaginary lines running through the Earth between the North and South Poles. They are arbitrary and used for reference so everyone can know where they are in the world. The lines running north and south are called "meridians" or "lines of longitude."
Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.

Longitude
True. Longitude lines, which are also known as meridians, converge at the North and South Poles. This means that as you move towards the poles, the distance between the longitude lines decreases until they meet at a single point at each pole.
There are many such lines, they are called lines of longitude.
Lines of longitude.
Lines of longitude run North-South.
