on a world map - the curved parallel lines are lines of latitude and longitude. They geographic co-ordinates. These coordinates values are measured in degrees, and represent angular distances calculated from the center of the EarthThese coordinates values are measured in degrees, and represent angular distances calculated from the center of the Earth. EAST TO WEST/WEST TO EAST - lines of latitude All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, and they are sometimes also referred to as parallels. Parallels are equally spaced. There are 90 degrees of latitude going north from the Equator, and the North Pole is at 90 degrees N. There are 90 degrees to the south of the Equator, and the South Pole is at 90 degrees S NORTH TO SOUTH/SOUTH TO NORTH - lines of longitude There is no obvious 0-degree point for longitude, as there is for latitude. Throughout history many different starting points have been used to measure longitude. By international agreement, the meridian line through Greenwich, England, is currently given the value of 0 degrees of longitude; this meridian is referred to as the Prime Meridian. Longitude values are indicate the angular distance between the Prime Meridian and points east or west of it on the surface of the Earth.

The parralle lines ona map are lines of?
Parallel lines found on a map correspond to latitude.
What is a map projection where the lines of longitude are parallel called?
That's true of the Mercator projection, among others.
What are lines that never intersect called?
the answer is parallel lines
What lines are called parallel lines?
Parallel lines are like this / / / / / / THEY NEVER TOUCH AND ARE OPPOSITE
What are two lines called that never cross each other?
parallel lines
Which lines are parallel to each other on map?
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
The parralle lines ona map are lines of?
Parallel lines found on a map correspond to latitude.
What is parallel or lines of latitude location?
They are the horizontal lines on a map.
What are the lines parallel to the equater called?
The lines parallel to the equator are called lines of latitude.
What is a map projection where the lines of longitude are parallel called?
That's true of the Mercator projection, among others.
What are lines that never intersect called?
the answer is parallel lines
In which direction do parallel lines go on a map?
It depends on the scale of the map. On a map of the world or a continent, the parallel lines will generally go horizontally across the map - East to West. For a large scale map, showing a small country or a local area, the vertical lines (North - South) will also be shown as parallel.
What map has parallel lines of latitude and longitude?
Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.
Lines used to locate palces on a map which are parallel to the equator?
They are lines of latitude.
The intersecting parallel meridian lines in a globe or map?
Meridians are not parallel. Apart from that, what is the question?
What lines on a map that run parallel to the Prime Meridian?
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
What are lines that never crossed called?
Parallel lines are lines that never cross.
