What happens when you take a round globe and put it on a flat map?
It will roll around. To make a flat map from a round globe, a projection is used. In making the projection not all measures can be preserved and so distances will be stretched for some areas, and straight lines on the projection will correspond to curved lines on the globe. There are different projections that can be used which try to minimise the effect on different measures.
What are the lines on the globe that look like a checkerboard called?
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
How many lines of latitude are on the globe?
there are 36 lines of latitude respectively
The horizontal lines are called the lines of what?
On the globe they are called lines of LATITUDE and are parallel to the equator.
What are the lines of the globe called?
latitude and longitude
Parts of the globe?
There are two different types of lines: lines of latitude and lines of longitude (also called meridians). The lines of latitude go around the globe horizontally. The center line is the Equator. Lines of longitude go around the globe vertically. The center one is called the Prime Meridian. These different lines together form a grid on a globe that's used to find locations of Earth's surface. The Equator and the Prime Meridian also divide the Earth into Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres.
What are the different imaginary lines on globe?
Equator which seperates the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere

What globe lines that are always the same distance apart?
"Parallels" of latitude. Those are the lines that are drawn horizontal on the globe or map.
What are the vertical lines around our globe called?
Lines of longitude.
What is latuide?
the horazontal lines on a globe
In what way can the imaginary lines on the globe help?
The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
Do the lines of measure the distance north and south or east and west on the globe?
The lines of latitude on a globe measure the distance east and west.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
Why there is an imaginary lines on globe?
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
How many lines of latitude are on the globe?
there are 36 lines of latitude respectively
