What else can I help you with?
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.
Are latitude lines vertical or horizontal?
On a normal map or atlas they are vertical.
What is the difference between latitude and parallels longitude and meridians?
Latitude refers to the angular distance of a location north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. Longitude refers to the angular distance of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles.
What is the lines of latitude and Meridian of longitude?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run north and south around the Earth. Meridian of longitude are imaginary lines that run east and west around the Earth. These lines work together to show locations on a map or globe.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
These are vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian?
Vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian are lines of longitude.
Lines are and run north-south?
Longitude; not parallel
Which one line is parallel latitude or longitude?
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
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.
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
Are lines of longitude parallel to the equator?
No, perpendicular.
Lines of longitude are not parallel why?
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
Are latitude lines parallel or perpendicular?
Parallel. Latitude and longitude are perpendicular.
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
What is a imaginary north south lines parallel to the prime meridian that circles the globe vertically?
Lines of longitude.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
