On a large scale map, they are the latitudes and longitudes. On more detailed maps they would be Eastings and Northings. On very detailed maps they could be just grid lines to help locate places.
Because contour lines make places of equal height.
Two lines cross at a point.
intersecting lines...
The lines that cross at a 90 degree angle are called Perpindicular lines.
Equipotentials cannot cross because they relate to places with a given value for potential. Lines of force meet at the charge or point of mass. They can cross if they relate to the same potential. Think of two mountain chains of unvarying height crossing each-other.
East And West(:
It is a network of lines that used to zone different areas on a map. They help locate places by separating areas
Imaginary lines that are used to help locate places and objects are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east and west around the Earth, while lines of longitude run north and south from pole to pole.

Math students.
they help us locate places with the help of grid lines........................
grid,atlas
using lines of latittude and longitude and co-ordinates
Lat rhymes with fat. Lines of latitude go around the world like belts, and locate positions to the north and south.Longitude lines are long. Unlike latitude lines longitude lines are all the same length as they run from pole to pole. The locate positions to the east and west.

It locates a place through degrees
