Where do the lines of latitude converge which means come to a single point?
Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, so do not converge. Lines of longitude do converge, at the north and the south poles.
What is the name of the spot where lines converge?
The vertex
All the lines of longuitude do this at the north pole?
All lines of longitude converge at the North Pole, meaning they meet at a single point. This unique point does not have a defined longitude as all lines converge there.
Why wre latitudes otherwise called as parallels?
Because unlike lines of longitude which converge on the poles, lines of latitude are parallel to each other: that is, they never converge.
What are the characteristics for a place where things meet or converge?
There is no single characteristic for a place where things meet or converge. I would like to say that the place must be something physical, lines can converge on a page (or a screen), people can converge at a lunch table, rail lines converge in many places. However, that place isn't necessarily physical, you can have a meeting of minds, or ideas that converge in a single mind or in time.
Do longitude lines ever meet?
No, longitude lines are parallel lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are spaced evenly apart. They do not converge or meet.
Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?
No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.
Why do longitude lines converge while latitude lines do not?
Longitude lines converge at the poles because they represent slices through a sphere that converge at the poles. Latitude lines, on the other hand, are parallel to each other because they represent circles around the Earth that do not intersect.
What is the different between parallel and convergent?
Parallel lines Never Converge
Definition of horizon lines in reference to perspective drawing?
The point at which horizon lines receding from an observer seem to converge.
What does the phrase converge at the poles mean?
The phrase "converge at the poles" refers to a situation in which lines of longitude on a map or globe appear to come together at the North Pole or South Pole. This is a visual effect due to the way maps are projected onto flat surfaces, causing the lines of longitude to seemingly meet at the poles.
What is the denfinition of vanshinng point?
In drawing it is the point at which parallel lines appear to converge.
