What else can I help you with?
Do lines of latitude sometimes intersect?
No, lines of latitude do not intersect.
The parralle lines ona map are lines of?
Parallel lines found on a map correspond to latitude.
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
What is the term for lines that don't intersect?
Coplanar lines that don't intersect are parallel. Lines that are not parallel and do not intersect are skew lines.
North and south lines that intersect latitude lines on a map?
The lines that are perpendicular to the latitude lines on a map are called longitudinal lines. There are 24 of them, each representing 15 degrees of change.
Do lines of latitude sometimes intersect?
No, lines of latitude do not intersect.
Do lines of longitude cross lines of latitude?
They intersect, yes.
WHY do latitude lines never intersect?
they are parallel
What is the critical rule for reading a map to determine grid coordinates?
The critical rule for reading a map to determine grid coordinates is to first determine the longitude (vertical lines) and then the latitude (horizontal lines) on the map that intersect at the point of interest. The grid coordinates are then expressed as a combination of the longitude and latitude lines.
Do lines of latitude sometimes intersect explain?
Lines of latitude encircle the earth, with the Great Circle being the Equator. Each line of latitude is parallel to each other, so will never intersect.
What are The lines that intercept latitude lines on a map Are lines of what?
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Which lines of latitude and longitude intersect in Illinois?
40n, 89w
How do you use latitude and longitude coordinates to find an absolute location on a map?
First, look on the map to find the line of latitude that the coordinates reference. If the exact line of latitude isn't shown on the map, estimate it by looking at the lines that are available. Then look on the map to find the longitude line that the coordinates reference. Once you have found the two lines, follow them both towards the point where they intersect. That is the location the coordinates reference.
Which parallels of latitude are drawn on the map?
The latitude lines printed on a map will depend on the scale of the map. A map of the Earth will probably have latitude lines printed every 15 or 30 degrees; a map of the United States will have latitude lines printed every 5 or 10 degrees.
What do lines of latitude and longitude mean?
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
What type of line is a parallel?
Parallel lines are two lines that will never intersect, like this.________________________________________________________
