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)
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 the lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of?
longitude
What do longitude lines cover that latitude lines don't?
The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.
Are lines of latitude perpendicular parallel or intersecting?
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
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.

What are the imaginary lines perpenticular to the equator?
The imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator are called longitudinal lines or longitude. The lines parallel to the equator are called latitudinal lines or latitude. Yes. they are.
What are The lines that intercept latitude lines on a map Are lines of what?
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Lines of latitude and line of longitude are perpendicular?
So as to create a particular location on the grid where they intersect.
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
