What is the other name for line?
The imaginary semi-circular "lines" of constant longitude are "meridians". The imaginary full-circular "lines" of constant latitude are "parallels".
What are location maps?
something that shows the direction of a latitude line running straight to the equator
Every line of latitude is parallel to?
All parallels of latitude are parallel to the equator and to each other.
What is a straight line in degrees?
A straight line has an infinite number of angles, each angle of eactly 360o, or 0o. An line with an angle of 180o looks like a straight line, but technically it is not a straight line, since the line folds back upon itself.
Do lines of latitude sometimes intersect explain?
Lines of latitude encircle the earth, with the Great Circle being the Equator. Each line of latitude is parallel to each other, so will never intersect.
What latitude line separated BC formerly New Caledonia and the US?
The 49th parallel of latitude is the boundary between the USA and Canada from Lake of the Woods to the Georgia Straight.
How can you plant 10 trees in 5 straight lines so that there are 4 trees in each line?
Impossible. If there MUST be 5 straight lines, then there can only be 2 trees in each line. This gives 5 straight lines with 2 trees each (or 2 straight lines with 5 trees each) ** ** ** ** **
What is the opposite of latitude 43 degrees N?
If you are anywhere on latitude 43° N, and you dig a hole straight down to thecenter of the Earth and keep going straight until you pop out of the other side,you will pop out at latitude 43° S .
What is a famous latitude line?
a latitude line is a line going from east to west. Just like the equator. the equator is a latitude line measuring at ) degrees latitude.
What is another name for a line of a latitude?
They are sometimes called parallels. They are parallel to the equator, zero degrees latitude, and parallel to each other. They are all circles, except for the poles which are points.A parallel is another name for a line of latitude because all lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Graticule .parallels
What are the two properties of lines of latitude?
Lines of latitude . . .-- are imaginary-- are invisible-- are invented by humans.-- They are all parallel to each other.-- Each line is composed of every point on Earth that has the same latitude.-- Each line goes completely around the Earth.-- The lines are labeled according to the latitude that each represents. The linethat represents zero latitude is the equator.-- Since the Earth's surface is spherical, latitude is an angle. It ranges from zero atthe equator to 90 degrees at the north and south poles.-- The length of any line of latitude depends on which latitude it represents, being approximately(40,075 kilometers / 24,900 miles) times (cosine of the latitude) .-- There is no set number of 'lines'. Different maps and globes display differentnumbers of lines. But a line can be made from any latitude that can be named,and there are an infinite number of those.
What do latitude and longitude lines represent?
-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude. -- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.
