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 lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
What are the lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of?
longitude
What is the lines of latitude and longitude of London?
The Prime Meridian runs through the London Borough of Greenwich, meaning it has a longitude of zero degrees. London is approx 51.5° north of the equator. In summary: 51°32'N, 0°W
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.
Do latitude lines connect the nprth and south poles?
Lines of latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, with the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) passing through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
What is the significance of latitude and amplongititude to a country?
The lines of latitude and longitude form an imaginary mesh encasing the World. Any point or country can be pinpointed by using these lines together. For instance, the coordinates of the Tower of London, England is given as Latitude 51.5081° North, Longitude 0.0759° West.
The lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of what?
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, and are parallel to the Equator. Lines of Latitude are intercepted by Lines of Longitude. Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude and passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
What is the north-south lines of the grid?
The North/South lines on the geographic grid are named 'Lines of Longitude' or 'Meridians'. The 'Zero' line passes through Greenwich Observatory in London, England. This position was fixed historically, some 350 years ago, by Astronomers and navigators of the day, and has remained so to this day. The 180 degrees line of longitude passes through the Pacific Ocean, and for most of its course it is also the International Date Line.
What do you call lines that run east and west north and south of the equator?
Lines of longitude run vertically from the north pole to the south pole. The Prime Meridian (zero longitude) runs through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England. Lines that run parallel to the Equator (zero latitude) are lines of latitude.
What are the lines that run east and west along the service of the earth they measure how far a place it's from the equator?
Lines of Latitude run parallel to the Equator (zero latitude). Lines of Longitude run from the North and South Poles, with the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) passing through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
What are the two kinds of line in map eh?
They are Lines of Latitude (or Parallels of Latitude), which encircle the world horizontally and are parallel to the Equator (Zero Latitude). Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is Zero Longitude, and the line passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
What is a longitude lines?
Lines of Longitude are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. The main line of longitude, the Prime Meridian (zero longitude), passes through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
