latitude and longitude
There are really two answers to this: If you mean the vertical and horizontal lines, then yes, these are longitude and latitude. If however you mean the lines (particularly on older maps) that seem to run in diagonals almost like a compass...these are known as Rhumb lines and were used to help navigate between major cities or ports.
Yes.
A coordinate plane.
The coordinate axes.
A coordinate grid is a grid that you plot points on. A coordinate grid is a 2-dimensional: system in which a location is described by its distance from two perpendicular lines called axes.
Latitude and longitude
A typical topographical map is printed on a grid that enable a position to be found, or given, by using a grid reference. Elevation is shown by using contour lines. Contour lines show areas of the same height, and the lines may be set at 50 metres between them. Therefore, two contour lines have a height of 50 metres between them.
Grid references are used to pinpoint specific locations on a map. They consist of two sets of numbers or letters that provide a unique identifier for a position within a grid system, typically used in cartography. The horizontal line is the easting and the vertical line is the northing.
