On some projections it may look that way, but in reality, on a world map, the lines cross at perfect 90 degree angles.
Angola
Perpendicular lines cross creating 90 degree angles. Examples would be intersections in city blocks or a cross.
They are perpendicular lines
A perpendicular line is two lines that look like a plus +. If they're not perpendicular, they don't cross with 90 degree angles.
yes, they do. though they are not always equal in length they always cross at right angles.
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).
Turkey
The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the prime meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significane but it is in the Atlantic Ocean.
in the Gulf of Guinea, about 380 miles south of Accra, Ghana.
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
The point where they cross is zero latitude / 180° longitude.
There is no city there; these coordinates are in a rural area about 30 miles south of Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The lines of 10°N latitude and 0° longitude cross in the country of Ghana, located in West Africa.
What 2 lines of latitude cross north American
They intersect, yes.
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.
