What are lines called where latitude and longitude intersect?
-- The place where a latitude intersects a longitude is a point, not a line. -- There are an infinite number of different longitudes, and each latitude intersects all of them. -- There are an infinite number of different latitudes, and each longitude intersects all of them. -- So you can see that there are a truly huge number of intersections. In fact, every point on Earth is an intersection of one latitude and one longitude, and no two points on Earth are the same intersection. On account of all that, there are no names.
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 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.
Why are lines of longitude and latitude important on a map or globe?
Latitude and Longitude are used to point to exactly where you want to be
Are Lines of longitude and latitude are used for locating certain points on the globe?
Yes. The intersection of a line of longitude and a line of latitude is a point on the globe, and that point is identified by the longitude and latitude of those lines.
What is the longest line of longitude?
The lines of longitude are all the same length. There is no longest line of longitude. Now, if you mean latitude, then that would be the equator.
When lines of longitide and latitude intersect they form?
A meridian of longitude and a parallel of latitude are perpendicular at their intersection, forming a right angle.
When lines of longitude and latitude cross they make a?
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
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).
What small body of water is found near the intersection of the 0 latitude and 0 longitude lines?
Gulf of Guinea
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.
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
What are the lines of latitude and longitude of Bridgeport CT?
The center of the intersection of Clinton Ave and State St is located at 41.1712° north latitude 73.2066° west longitude. Other spots around town have somewhat different coordinates.
What is the latitude and longitude lines of naperville?
The Alleykats restaurant at the intersection of East Chicago Ave. and South Washington St. in Naperville is located at 41° 46' 17" north latitude 88° 08' 53" west longitude
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
