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.
Moving information from a curved surface to a flat surface causes?
When information is moved from a curved surface( like the Earth) to a flat surface ( like a map), distortion occurs.
A soccer ball is kicked at a 45 degree angle at the top of its path is its acceleration entirely horizontal or vertical or a combination of both?
At the top of it path or anywhere else the Earth's gravity accelerates the ball downward. Regardless what the horizontal mothion is (disregarding air resistance), there are no accelerations after the kick. A ball kicked straight up to the same height will hit the ground at the same time as a ball kicked at 45 degrees.
What does horizontal mean?
Horizontal means going left and right. This is the opposite of vertical, which means going up and down. Example: This sentence is written horizontally. It might help to know that the horizon is the farthest limit of the earth that can be seen from a given point. When you are at a beach looking out over the ocean or another body of water where you cannot see land in the distance, the line where the sky meets the water is called the horizon.
How are the lines of latitude and longitude used to locate points on Earth's surface?
The lines of latitude provide vertical (north-south) coordinates on a map or globe. Lines of longitude provide horizontal (east-west) coordinates. The defined geographical point is where the latitude line intersects the longitude line.
